Which student correctly identifies why your weight would change if you stood on a planet having a
mass four times that of Earth's mass, and a radius two times that of Earth's radius?
1)
Student C you would weigh the same amount because the mass of effects gravitational
force indirectly, but the distance between two bodies affects gravity with an inverse square
relationship.
2)
Student B states you would weigh the more because the mass of effects gravitational force
directly, but the distance between two bodies affects gravity with an inverse square
relationship.
3)
Student D you would weigh more because the mass of effects gravitational force indirectly,
but the distance between two bodies affects gravity with an inverse square relationship.
4)
Student A states that you would weigh the same amount because the mass of effects
gravitational force directly, but the distance between two bodies affects gravity with an
inverse square relationship.
