Homework Statement
On an alien planet you throw a stone upward and measure the times Ta and Tb. The difference in heights of point a and point b is h. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity.
Ta = 7.1s; Tb= 4.4s; h = 15.1m
Homework Equations
a = dv/st
v(t) = vo - gt
The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried solving a = t*(2gh)^.5. I have also tried a = 2h/(Ta-Tb). I keep getting numbers that are far too great I believe based off of the numbers I am given.
