Questions
Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the earth’s surface is 10 m/s2 and at the surface of Mars it is 4.0 m/s2. A 60 kg passenger goes from the earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force)of the passenger as a function of time.
detailed solution
Correct option is C
Initially the weight of the passenger = 60 × 10 = 600 NFinally the weight of the passenger = 60 × 4 = 240 Nand during the flight in between some where its weight will be zero because at that point gravitational pull of earth and mars will be equal.Talk to our academic expert!
