Answer: C. 1000 Newton
Explanation:
Given that :
Weight of moon rover on earth = 6000 newton
Approximate of moon rover on moon will be?
Weight of an object (W) = mass(m) × acceleration due to gravity(g)
To get the mass of moon rover(m) :
m = weight / acceleration due to gravity
g on earth = 9.8m/s²
Hence,
mass of moon rover = 6000/ 9.8
= 612.244kg
Surface gravity on the moon is about 1.6m/s²
Hence ;
Weight of moon rover on the moon :
Mass of moon rover × 1.6m/s²
= 612.244 × 1.6m/s²
= 979.59 Newton
= 1000 Newton (nearest thousand)
