The Jupiter Rover has a mass of 300kg. If the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiters' surface is -2.15m/s^2.?what is the magnitude of the Rover's...

There is an error in the information provided. The
acceleration due to gravity cannot be negative as the force of gravity between two
bodies is an attractive force. I assume you meant the acceleration due to gravity is
2.15 m/ s^2.


A body's weight on a planet is the force with
which it is attracted towards the surface of the planet. This is given as m*g, where m
is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration due to
gravity.


The mass of the Jupiter Rover is 300 kg and the
acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is 2.15
m/s^2


This gives the weight of the Jupiter Rover on the
planet as 300*2.15 = 645 N
