Responses
on planet Z
on planet Z
on planet Y
on planet Y
on planet X
on planet X
on planet W
on planet W
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.

An object would weigh the most on planet Y.
To answer this question, we need to compare the masses of the planets. Looking at the table, we see that the estimated mass of planet W is 6.4 × 10^23 kg, the estimated mass of planet X is 3.3 × 10^23 kg, the estimated mass of planet Y is 59.7 × 10^23 kg, and the estimated mass of planet Z is 48.7 × 10^23 kg.
Since all the planets are assumed to have similar radii, we can conclude that the planet with the highest mass will have the highest gravitational pull, and therefore an object will weigh the most on that planet.
Comparing the masses, we can see that the estimated mass of planet Y (59.7 × 10^23 kg) is the highest among all the planets. Therefore, an object would weigh the most on planet Y.
So, the correct answer is "on planet Y".
To find the planet where an object would weigh the most, we need to compare the masses of the planets. Looking at the table, the estimated masses of the planets are as follows:
- Planet W: 6.4 × 10^23 kg
- Planet X: 3.3 × 10^23 kg
- Planet Y: 59.7 × 10^23 kg
- Planet Z: 48.7 × 10^23 kg
Since the radius of the planets is assumed to be similar, the planet with the highest mass will have the strongest gravitational pull, making an object weigh the most on that planet.
Comparing the masses, we find that Planet Y has the highest estimated mass of 59.7 × 10^23 kg. Therefore, an object would weigh the most on Planet Y.
So, the correct answer is "on planet Y."
