# On a strange, airless planet, a ball is thrown downward from a height of \( 17 \, \text{m} \). The ball initially travels at \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \). If the ball hits the ground in \( 1 \, \text{s} \), what is this planet’s gravitational acceleration?

On a strange, airless planet, a ball is thrown downward from a height of \( 17 \, \text{m} \). The ball initially travels at \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \). If the ball hits the ground in \( 1 \, \text{s} \), what is this planet’s gravitational acceleration?
