The tallest volcano in the solar system is the 19 km tall martian volcano, olympus mons. an astronaut drops a ball off the rim of the crater and that the free fall acceleration of the ball remains constant throughout the ball’s 19 km fall at a value of 3.7 m/s 2 . (we assume that the crater is as deep as the volcano is tall, which is not usually the case in nature.) find the time for the ball to reach the crater floor. answer in units of s

101.34 s.

Explanation:

Distance travelled  ( s ) = 19 km = 19 000 m

acceleration( a ) = 3.7 m s⁻²

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Time is t

Using the equation of motion

s =ut + .5 a t²

19000 = 0 + .5 x 3.7 t²

t =

t = 101.34 s

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
