Answer:
The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.
Explanation:
First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:
h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²
where,
h = height or depth of crater = 100 m
Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s
t = time = 4 s
g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?
Therefore,
100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²
g = (200 m)/(16 s²)
g = 12.5 m/s²
on earth:
ge = 9.8 m/s²
Since,
ge < g
Therefore,
<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>
