Question

objects on the surface of each of the following bodies share the same weight. on which body does the corresponding object have the greatest mass? multiple choice earth jupiter mars earths moon

Explanation:

Step1: Recall weight - mass formula

Weight $W = mg$, where $W$ is weight, $m$ is mass and $g$ is gravitational acceleration. Given $W$ is the same. So, $m=\frac{W}{g}$. The body with the smallest $g$ will give the largest $m$.

Step2: Know gravitational accelerations

Gravitational acceleration on Earth: $g_{earth}\approx9.8\ m/s^{2}$, on Jupiter $g_{jupiter}\approx24.79\ m/s^{2}$, on Mars $g_{mars}\approx3.71\ m/s^{2}$, on Earth's moon $g_{moon}\approx1.62\ m/s^{2}$. Earth's moon has the smallest $g$.

Answer:

D. earth's moon
