Question

a 1300-kilogram space vehicle travels at 4.8 meters per second along the level surface of mars. if the magnitude of the gravitational field strength on the surface of mars is 3.9 newtons per kilogram, the magnitude of the normal force acting on the vehicle is (1) 320 n (2) 4400 n (3) 930 n (4) 5070 n

Answer 1

The magnitude of the normal force acting on the space vehicle will be 5070 newtons. So option (4) is correct.

Given that,

The mass of the space vehicle is 1300 kilograms

It travels at a speed of 4.8 meters per second along the level surface of mars.

The g' (gravitational field strength) on the surface of mars is 3.9 newtons per kilogram

We need to find the normal force acting on the space vehicle

We know, N = mg' (where N is normal force)

N = (1300 × 3.9) Newton

N = 5070 Newton

So, the magnitude of the normal force acting on the space vehicle that is traveling at 4.8 meters per second along the level surface of mars will be 5070 newtons.

The normal force is the force that surfaces exert to prevent solid objects from passing through each other. The normal force is one type of ground reaction force.
