On Mars, the gravitational field constant is g = 3.7 N/kg. • a. How much would a 2.0 kg mass weigh on Mars? • b. If this object was allowed to fall for 4.0 s, what would be the new velocity of the rock, assuming no resistance with the atmosphere of Mars? • c. What distance would the object fall assuming no atmospheric resistance? d. When the object does encounter the atmosphere of Mars and reaches terminal velocity, what would the free-body diagram look like? Please label the forces involved.
