d(t)=1/2 gt2+vot +do where:

d(t) is the distance traveled, in metres
g is the acceleration due to gravity in m/s2
t is the time, in seconds (s)
vo is the initial velocity of the moving object
do is the initial height in metres.

An object is dropped from a height of 1,000 m, on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.92 m/s2. Find, to two decimal places, the time it will take for the object to hit the surface of Mars.
