Ok. I finally understood that you need to complete (fill in the blank) the last sentence: The weight of a space probe on the surface of Mars is about ______________
The answer is one third its weight on the surface of Earth.
You can find that by using the formula for the weight:
weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
So, given that the mass is constant and the acceleration due to gravity is one third, the weight is also one third.
The appropriate response is gamma radiation. Alpha particles can be halted via air. UV radiation can be halted by a typical layer of clothing.Beta particles can be ceased by the thick plastic suit. Just gamma radiation can enter the substantial suit. It must be halted by thick dividers of lead or cement.
