Question 23

An object of mass 3.0 kg is at rest on Earth. An identical object is at rest on a planet with a gravitational field strength of one-third that on Earth.

Which row correctly compares the object on the planet to the object on Earth?

A

Weight: one-third; Acceleration when the same horizontal resultant force is applied: equal to that on Earth

B

Weight: one-third; Acceleration when the same horizontal resultant force is applied: one-third of that on Earth

C

Weight: three times; Acceleration when the same horizontal resultant force is applied: equal to that on Earth

D

Weight: three times; Acceleration when the same horizontal resultant force is applied: three times that on Earth
