A moon vehicle has a mass of 212 kg and a length of 3 metres - AQA - A-Level Maths Pure - Question 11 - 2022 - Paper 2

To find the acceleration due to gravity, we can use the formula that relates weight (W), mass (m), and acceleration due to gravity (g):

$W = m imes g$

Where:

• W = weight of the vehicle = 345 N
• m = mass of the vehicle = 212 kg
• g = acceleration due to gravity on the moon

We can rearrange the formula to solve for g:

$g = \frac{W}{m}$

Substituting in the values:

$g = \frac{345 \text{ N}}{212 \text{ kg}}$

Calculating this gives:

$g \approx 1.63 \text{ ms}^{-2}$

Thus, the correct answer to circle is 1.63 ms$^{-2}$.
