Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet $P$ is one tenth of the value at the surface of planet $Q$. At the surface of $P$, a body has mass $1.0\,\text{kg}$ and weight $1.0\,\text{N}$. What are the mass and the weight of that 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 $Q$ = $100\,\text{N}$
