The highest mountain on mars is olympus mons, rising 22000 meters above the martian surface. If we were to throw an object horizontaly off the mountain top, how long would it take to reach the surface? (Ignore atmospheric drag forces and use gMars=3.72m/s^2 a. 2.4 minutes
b. 0.79 minutes
c. 1.8 minutes
d. 3.0 minutes

  t = 1.81 min ,     the correct answer is c

Explanation:

This is a missile throwing exercise

The object is thrown horizontally, so its vertical speed is zero (voy = 0), let's use the equation

             y = y₀ + t - ½ g t²

the final height is y = 0 and the initial height is y₀ = 22000 m

            0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

            t = √y 2y₀ / g

let's calculate

           t = √(2  22000 / 3.72)

           t = 108.76 s

let's reduce to minutes

           t = 108.76 s (1 min / 60 s)

           t = 1.81 min

The correct answer is c

0.19 m/s and 0.45 m/s
