Forces — practice question

Table 2.1 gives information about Mars.
(a)[1]

Define the gravitational field strength.

(b(i))[2]

Calculate the weight of the object on the surface of Mars.

(b(ii))[2]

Calculate Mars’s volume.

(c(i))[2]

Draw and label one arrow on Fig. 2.1 to indicate both the size and the direction of the resistive forces on the buggy.

(c(ii))[1]

1. State the effect this has on the resultant force on the buggy on Mars. 2. State the link between resistive forces, driving force and resultant force.
