The acceleration of gravity on Mars is about 3.7 meters per second squared. Suppose a rock falls from a tall cliff on Mars. Which of the following equations indicates how fast the rock will be falling after 8 seconds?



Answer :

Lanuel

An equation that indicates how fast (velocity) the rock will be falling after 8 seconds is (3.7 × 8) m/s.

Given the following data:

  • Time, t = 8 seconds.
  • Acceleration of gravity on Mars, a = 3.7 meters per second squared (m/s²).

How to determine the velocity of this rock?

In order to determine the velocity at which this rock would fall after 8 seconds, we would apply the first equation of motion.

Mathematically, the first equation of motion is given by this formula:

V = u + at

Where:

  • V represents the final velocity.
  • u represents the initial velocity.
  • a represents the acceleration.
  • t represents the time.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

V = 0 + 3.7 × 8

V = (3.7 × 8) m/s.

Note: The answer options are missing, so I had to provide a general overview (answer).
