Equations of motion — practice question

A rock on the surface of Mars is thrown straight upwards with an initial speed of $9.4\,\text{m s}^{-1}$. It reaches a maximum height of $12\,\text{m}$ above the surface. Assume that Mars has no atmosphere. What is the acceleration of free fall near the surface of Mars?

  • A$0.39\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
  • B$3.7\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
  • C$7.4\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
  • D$9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}$
