Easy -2.5 This is a trivial one-mark question requiring only direct substitution into W = mg (345 = 212g, so g = 1.63). It involves no problem-solving, no multi-step reasoning, and is significantly easier than typical A-level mechanics questions which usually require force diagrams, equation setup, and algebraic manipulation.
11 A moon vehicle has a mass of 212 kg and a length of 3 metres.
On the moon the vehicle has a weight of 345 N
