On the earth, when an astronaut throws a 0.250-kg stone vertically upward, it returns to his hand a time T later. On planet X he finds that, under the same circumstances, the stone returns to his hand in 2T. In both cases, he throws the stone with the same initial velocity and it feels negligible air resistance. The acceleration due to gravity on planet X (in terms of g) is

To determine the height of a flagpole, Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of the pole after 0.50 s and then reaches the top of the pole again after a total elapsed time of 4.1 s. How high is the pole above the point where the ball was launched? (You can ignore air resistance.)

An object starts its motion with a constant velocity of 2.0 m/s toward the east. After 3.0 s, the object stops for 1.0 s. The object then moves toward the west a distance of 2.0 m in 3.0 s. The object continues traveling in the same direction, but increases its speed by 1.0 m/s for the next 2.0 s. Which graph below could represent the motion of this object?
