Question

Two objects of the same mass are on two different planets. Planet A has a force of gravity that is stronger than that of Planet B. How will the weights of the objects compare to each other?

Answer 1

Planet A’s Object will have a higher weight than planet B’s Object.

Explanation: When a planet has a stronger gravitational pull, the same object will weigh more despite having the same mass, because weight is simply how much gravity is pushing/pulling on something.

Answer 2

Answer:

Object on Planet A would have greater weight than on Planet B.

Explanation:

Mass is the matter contained in an object. It remains constant irrespective of the planet on which the object is kept.

mass, m = constant

On the other hand, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. More the force of gravity, more would be the weight.

$\text{weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity}$

$w = mg$

Thus, the object on Planet A would have greater weight than on Planet B.
