Question

The gravitational force of a lunar rover is 1,607.2 Newtons on Earth. What will the rover’s gravitational force be on the Moon?

On Earth, g = 9.8m/s2.
On the Moon, g = 1.62 m/s2.

Answer 1

Answer: Fg = 265.68 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Fg = m * g

m = Fg / g

m = 1607.2 N / 9.8 m/s^2

m = 164 kg

Fg = m * g

Fg = 164 kg * 1.62 m/s^2

Fg = 265.68 N
