    Finding g on unknown planet given only total time and a random height

    Sorry, my first attempt was flawed because I mistakenly equated Vavg.= (Vfinal+Vinitial)/2 and from that eventually came up with the equation 4t*deltaY*(2Vfinal-Vavg)+Vavg=Vfinal and used the reference point of t=1.5s and y=11m to solve for Vfinal. That (probably obviously) didn't work so now...

    Homework Statement Been working on this for the past hour or so and seem to be going in circles; finally decided to call in the cavalry: You land on an unknown planet somewhere in the universe that clearly has weaker gravity than Earth. To measure g on this planet you do the following...
