An object would weigh the most on planet Y.
the answers are:
1.on planet Y
2.Mass is the same everywhere. Weight depends on the force of gravity.
3.The gravitational force on the moon is weaker than on Earth.
4.The textbook has a stronger attraction to Earth.

Thank you for providing the answers, but based on the given table which shows the estimated mass of the planets, the correct answer is on planet Y, as it has the highest estimated mass. The mass of an object determines the gravitational force acting on it, and therefore determines its weight. So, an object would weigh the most on planet Y.
To answer this question, we need to compare the estimated masses of the planets. The estimated mass of each planet is given in the table in units of 10^23 kilograms.
According to the table, the estimated masses of the planets are as follows:
- Planet W: 6.4 x 10^23 kg
- Planet X: 3.3 x 10^23 kg
- Planet Y: 59.7 x 10^23 kg
- Planet Z: 48.7 x 10^23 kg
Since the question states that the planets are assumed to be similar in radius, we can use their estimated masses to determine which planet an object would weigh the most on.
Comparing the masses, we can see that the planet with the highest estimated mass is Planet Y, with a mass of 59.7 x 10^23 kg. Therefore, an object would weigh the most on Planet Y.
Therefore, the correct answer is "on planet Y."
