On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² downward.
So any object with only gravity acting on it gains 9.8 m/s of
downward speed every second.
If the rock starts out moving upward at 10 m/s, then it will
continue upward for only (10/9.8) = 1.02 second, before
it stops rising and starts falling.
Its average speed during that time is (1/2) (10 + 0) = 5 m/s .
At an average speed of 5 m/s for 1.02 sec,
the rock rises
(5 m/s) x (1.02 sec) = 5.102 meters .
Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.
C = 2πr
Substituting the known values,
C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km
To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,
tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h
Limited resources: resources that take a long time to replenish
Example: coal, oil, nuclear gas
Non- limited resource: resources that are constantly being replenished
Example: soil, wind, water
