Answer:
240 ft
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity = 96 ft/s
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration = 12 m/s² on Mars 32 ft/s² on Earth negative due to upward direction
Mars

Earth

Differentiating the first equation with respect to time we get

Equating with zero

Differentiating the second equation with respect to time we get
Equating with zero

Applying the time taken to the above equations, we get


Difference in height = 384-144 = 240 ft
The stone will travel 240 ft higher on Mars
We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1) Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8 = 7058 kms Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2 Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9 = 9019 kms Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.
You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.
-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.
-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.
-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.
A discovery not the others
