Problem

During a free-fall experiment, a ball is found to have a velocity of

5\,\text{m/s}

downward at

0.5\,\text{s}

and

14\,\text{m/s}

downward at

1.5\,\text{s}

. From these data, determine the numerical value of the acceleration due to gravity

g

at the site. (a)

9.8\,\text{m/s}^2

(b)

10.0\,\text{m/s}^2

(c)

9.0\,\text{m/s}^2

(d)

6.0\,\text{m/s}^2
