Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A satellite orbits Earth at a height where the acceleration due to gravity is 8 m/sΒ². If the mass of the satellite is 2000 kg, calculate its weight in Newtons.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the weight formula with the given acceleration due to gravity.

Question 2

Consider a person weighing 600 N on Earth. Calculate their mass, then determine their weight on Mars, where gravity is about 3.71 m/sΒ².

πŸ’‘ Hint: First, find mass using the weight on Earth, then calculate the new weight using Mars' gravity.
