In the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, after being told that Darth Vader is his father, Luke Skywalker falls from a ledge in Cloud City (not on the Earth, so the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is not necessarily 9.81 m/s2). Suppose he falls a distance of 57.0 m in 3.5 s. Assuming he starts from rest, answer the following questions. (The positive y direction is upward. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
(a) What is Luke's velocity 3.5 s after he starts to fall?
  
(b) What is the constant acceleration due to gravity, experienced by Luke, on Cloud City? Use an upward-pointing y axis.
