- USEFUL DATA
mass of ping-pong ball = 10g
height dropped = 3m
acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81Nkg-1
acceleration due to gravity on Mars = 38% of the value on Earth
air density on Earth = 1.2kgm-3
air density on Mars = 0.6% of the value on Earth
CALCULATE THE FOLLOWING
a. The velocity of the ping-pong ball just before landing
1. On Earth
2. On Mars
- Relevant Equations
- KE = 0.5mv2
GPE = mgh
Air resistance = 0.5 x air density x drag coefficient x area x v2
I'm a parent and have no idea, just looking for help please
