Gravity affects the speed at which objects travel when they fall. Suppose a rock is dropped off a 7.5 m cliff on Mars. The height of the rock, h(t), in metres, over time, t, in seconds could be modelled by the function h(t) = –1.9t2 + 3.0t + 7.5. (The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.77 m/s.)
a) How long would it take the rock to hit the bottom of the cliff?
b) The same rock dropped off a cliff of the same height on Earth could be modelled by the function h(t) = –4.9t2 + 3.0t + 7.5. Compare the time that the rock would be falling on Earth and on Mars.
