The problem of the "sound barrier" has to do with moving through
air, and the things the air does when you try to push it out of the
way faster than the speed of sound. Moving through air faster
than sound was an engineering and technological problem, not
a scientific one.
Concerning light, that's about 874 thousand times faster.

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
Answer:
The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:
U = m × g × h
U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)
m: mass in kg
g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
h: height in m
Equivalences
1 kg = 1000 g
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²
1 J = N × m
Known data




Problem development
ΔU: Potential energy change
ΔU = U₂ - U₁
U₂ - U₁ = mₓgₓh₂ - mₓgₓh₁
U₂ - U₁ = mₓg(h₂ - h₁)

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J
