Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

The value of gravitational field strength at the surface of planet P is one tenth of the value at the surface of planet Q. A body on the surface of P has a mass of $1.0\,\text{kg}$ and a weight of $1.0\,\text{N}$. What are the mass and the weight of this same body on the surface of planet Q?

  • Amass on Q $= 1.0\,\text{kg}$, weight on Q $= 0.1\,\text{N}$
  • Bmass on Q $= 1.0\,\text{kg}$, weight on Q $= 10\,\text{N}$
  • Cmass on Q $= 10\,\text{kg}$, weight on Q $= 10\,\text{N}$
  • Dmass on Q $= 10\,\text{kg}$, weight on Q $= 100\,\text{N}$
