A robot probe drops a camera off the rim of a 239 m high cliff on Mars, where the free fall acceleration is -3.7m/s^2.

a. Find the velocity with which the camera hits the ground.
b. Find the time required for it to hit the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I solve it as Physics problems, using formulas from Physics.

    a) Velocity   V =  =  = 42.05 m/s.



    b) From  H = ,  the time  t =  =  = 11.37 seconds.
