Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

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

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