Given data:

* The distance traveled by the object is 64 m.

* The time taken by the object to travel the distance is 4 seconds.

* The initial velocity of the object is 0 m/s.

Solution:

By the kinematics equation, the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X is,


S=ut+(1)/(2)at^2

where S is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, t is time taken, a is the acceleration due to gravity on Plant X,

Substituting the known values,


undefined
