SOLUTION: A spaceship hovering over the surface of Mars drops an object from a height of 30 m. how much longer does it take to reach the surface than if dropped from the same height on Earth

Question 1181763: A spaceship hovering over the surface of Mars drops an object from a height of 30 m. how much longer does it take to reach the surface than if dropped from the same height on Earth? Neglect air resistance in both cases [ the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 33% of that on Earth, gmars = (0.33) g.]

Use the basic formula connecting the distance (the height) h,  time t and gravity acceleration


    h = 


to answer the question.


From the formula,


    t =  =  = .


The gravity acceleration for the Earth  g = 9.81  m/s^2.

You do the rest.
