Mass and weight — practice question

An object has a mass of $50\ \text{kg}$. On Earth, the gravitational field strength is $10.0\ \text{N kg}^{-1}$. On a distant planet, the gravitational field strength is $4.0\ \text{N kg}^{-1}$. What is the object's weight on Earth, and what is its weight on the distant planet?

  • Aon Earth: $5.0\ \text{kg}$, on the distant planet: $12.5\ \text{kg}$
  • Bon Earth: $5.0\ \text{N}$, on the distant planet: $12.5\ \text{N}$
  • Con Earth: $500\ \text{kg}$, on the distant planet: $200\ \text{kg}$
  • Don Earth: $500\ \text{N}$, on the distant planet: $200\ \text{N}$
