A mars surface exploration vehicle drops a rock off a 1.00 I'm high vertical Cliff. The sound of the rock landing at the base of the cliff is recorded by instruments on the vehicle 27.1 seconds later. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Mars given that the speed of sound on Mars is 320 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 11.81 m/s².

The given parameters:

  • Height of the cliff, h = 1 m
  • Time of motion of the sound wave, t = 27.1 s
  • Speed of sound in mass, v = 320 s

The equation of motion to determine the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is calculated as follows;

[tex]s = vt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2[/tex]

where;

  • s is the distance traveled
  • t is the time of motion

Since the time measured is two way time, the new equation for the total distance traveled is calculated as;

[tex]v = \frac{2d}{t} \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{320 \times 27.1}{2} \\\\d = 4,336 \ m[/tex]

The acceleration due to gravity is calculated as follows;

[tex]s = vt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\4,336 = 0 \ + \ \frac{1}{2} \times g \times (27.1)^2\\\\4,336 = 367.21g\\\\g = \frac{4,336}{367.21} \\\\g = 11.8 1 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 11.81 m/s².
