Question

1. on the surface of mars, the acceleration of gravity is 3.711 m/s². the curiosity rover, which examines that the surface of mars, has a mass of 389.3 kg. what is the weight of the rover on the surface of the planet mars?

38,190 n
3893 n
14,450 n
9520 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

Weight \( W = m\times g\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 389.3\space kg\) and \(g=3.711\space m/s^{2}\). Then \(W=389.3\times3.711\).
