Mass and weight — practice question

A $1.0\,\text{kg}$ object is stationary on Earth. A matching object is stationary on a planet where the gravitational field strength is twice that on Earth. Which row gives the correct comparison between the object on the planet and the object on Earth?

  • Aits weight: double; its acceleration when the same horizontal force is applied: equal to that on Earth
  • Bits weight: double; its acceleration when the same horizontal force is applied: half that on Earth
  • Cits weight: half; its acceleration when the same horizontal force is applied: equal to that on Earth
  • Dits weight: half; its acceleration when the same horizontal force is applied: half that on Earth
