At NASA's robotics laboratory, engineers are preparing a prototype rover for a future mission to Mars.
Before sending the rover to Mars, they must test how it accelerates when its motors apply force.
Engineer Arjun is responsible for calculating how quickly the rover will accelerate when a known force is applied. This helps ensure the rover can move efficiently across rocky terrain.
He must use Newton’s Second Law to determine the rover’s acceleration.
