Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula:
Where:
PEgrav = Gravitational potential energy
m= mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
On Earth acceleration due to gravity is a constant 9.8 but since the scenario is on Mars, the pull of gravity is different. In this case, it is 3.7, so we will use that for g.
So put in what you know and solve for what you don't know.
m = 10kg
g = 3.7m/s^2
h = 1m
So we put that in and solve it.

Answer:
The time taken by the brick to hit the ground, t = 0.84 s
Explanation:
Given that,
A brick falls from a height, h = 3.42 m
The initial velocity of the brick is zero.
Since the brick is under free-falling. The time equation of a free-falling body when the displacement is given is
t =
where,
h - height from surface in meters
g - acceleration due to gravity
on substituting the values in the above equation,
t =
= 0.84 s
Hence, time taken by the brick to hit the ground is t = 0.84 s
