Question

In 2013, Curiosity landed on the surface of Mars Part A Does the weight of Curiosity vary f it makes ts way from a valley floor to the top of a tal hilr? Explain No. the graviłational force would remain the samt because Curiosity is stil on the surface of the planet. So its weight would remain the same as well Yes, in accord with the Inverse-square law, the gravitatonai force on Curiesity at the higher location is less. So its weight is less at the tap of the h Submit Provide Feedback Next >

Answer 1

Yes. The weight varies, however very slightly even through we don't realize as the mass of earth is very much large than curiosity. But in accord with inverse-square law, the gravitational force at sea level is large in magnitude than at the top of hill
