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

The answer to your question is Equation vf = gt; vf = 29.6 m/s

Explanation:

Data

gravity = 3.7 m/s²

vf = ?

time = t = 8 s

Formula

vf = vo + gt

Initial speed = 0 m/s

To solve this problem we can use the equations of free fall and just substitute the data.

- Substitution

vf = 0 + (3.7) (8)

- Simplification

vf = 29.6 m/s
