A spaceship hovering over the surface of Venus drops an object from a height of 53 m. How much longer does it take to reach the surface than if dropped from the same height on Earth? Neglect air resistance.  [The acceleration due to gravity on Venus is 90.7% of that Earth, gvenus = (0.907)g.]

Distance and Speed

The speed, distance and time relation forms the basis of study of motion. You will need these concepts in the study of Mechanics. This concept is applicable for students who are studying the following courses –
