The weight of the buggy was 40 N on Mars. When the buggy landed on Mars it rested on an area of 0.025 m2.Calculate the pressure exerted by the buggy on the surface of Mars. Give the unit.

Respuesta :

Answer:

P = 1600 W

Explanation:

The weight of the buggy on Mars is 40 N.

It landed on area of 0.025 m^2.

Pressure is given as force per unit area:

P = F / A

where F = force

A = area

Weight is a force, therefore, the pressure exerted by the buggy on that surface of Mars is:

P = 40 / 0.025

P = 1600 W
