Scientist, discovered two new planets, planet X and planet Y they have identical volumes but the mass of planet X is two times greater than the mass of
Planet y if two identical, space probes land on each planet, which of the following will be true? A. The weight of the pro planet X will be greater than the weight of the space probe on planet Y.B. The weight of the space probe planet Y will be greater than the weight of the space pro planet X.C. The mass of the space probe bone planet X will be greater than the mass of the space pro bone, planet Y.D. The mass of the space probe on planet y will be greater than the mass of the probe on planet X.
A. The weight of the space probe on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space probe on planet Y.
Weight is determined by the mass of an object and the gravitational force acting on it. Since planet X has twice the mass of planet Y, the gravitational force acting on planet X will be greater. Therefore, the weight of the space probe on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space probe on planet Y.
