Suppose, the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is $10\, m\, s^{-2}$ and at the surface of Mars it is $4.0\, m\, s^{-2}$. A $60\, kg$ pasenger goes from the Earth to the Mars in a spaceship moving with a constant velocity. Neglect all other objects in the sky. Which part of figure best represents the weight (net gravitational force) of the passenger as a function of time?

A

$A$

B

$B$

C

$C$

D

$D$

Solution

$g \propto \frac{1}{{{R^2}}}$ so we will not get a straight line.
Also $F = 0$ at a point where Force due to Earth $=$ Force due to Mars
