Mass and weight — practice question

A body with mass $1.0\,\text{kg}$ is stationary on the Earth. An identical body is stationary on a planet where the gravitational field strength is twice the value on the Earth. Which row gives the correct comparison between the object on the planet and the object on the Earth?

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