Question
Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth′s is 10 ms-2 and at the surface of Mars it is 4.0 ms-2. A 60kg passenger goes from the earth to the Mars in spaceship moving With a constant velocity. Neglect all other objection the sky. Which part of figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time
Options
A.A
B.B
C.C
D.D
Solution
g ∝ 
so we will not get a straight line . Also F = 0 at a point where due to Earth = force due to mars
