1.96s and 1.86s. The time it takes to a spaceship hovering the surface of Venus to drop an object from a height of 17m is 1.96s, and the time it takes to the same spaceship hovering the surface of the Earth to drop and object from the same height is 1.86s.
In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the motion equation to calculate the time of flight of an object on Venus surface and the Earth. There is an equation of motion that relates the height as follow:
The initial velocity of the object before the dropping is 0, so we can reduce the equation to:
We know the height h of the spaceship hovering, and the gravity of Venus is . Substituting this values in the equation
:
To calculate the time it takes to an object to reach the surface of Venus dropped by a spaceship hovering from a height of 17m, we have to clear t from the equation above, resulting:
Similarly, to calculate the time it takes to an object to reach the surface of the Earth dropped by a spaceship hovering from a height of 17m, and the gravity of the Earth .
