The rover’s gravitational force on the Moon will be:
F = mg
F = 1607.2 N x (1.62 m/s2 / 9.8 m/s2)
F = 266.835 N
Therefore, the rover’s gravitational force on the Moon will be approximately 266.835 Newtons.
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
