** **Acceleration due to gravity on this planet will be 3.802 m / s^2
What are equations of motion?
**Equation of motion **are defined as equations that describe the behavior of a physical system in terms of its motion as a function of time
Using **equation of motion **
u=0
s= 2.3 m
t = 1.1 sec
to find = g (acceleration due to gravity on this planet)
s = u t + 1/2 (a ) (t ^(2))
s = 1/2 (g) (t^2)
2.3 = 1/2 (g) (1.1^2)
g = 2 * 2.3 /(1.1)^2
g = 4.6 /1.21= 3.802
correct answer is b) g = 3.802 m / s^2
