A lunar exploration vehicle was created by a research team. It weighs 3,000 kg on the earth. It needs an acceleration of 10 m/s2 on the moon. In order to have the same acceleration, what will be the net force acting on the vehicle on the earth?

Answer = 30,000 N

EXPLANATION

Applying Newton’s second of law of motion, which in summary, states that the acceleration of an object... is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force... and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Therefore, Force = Mass * Acceleration
F = ma

Mass, m = 3,000 kg
Acceleration, a = 10 m/s²
Force, F = 3,000 × 10
= 30,000 N
