On Earth an object weighs 50 N. On Planet X, the object weighs 500 N. What conclusion can be drawn from these observations? A. Planet X has less mass than Earth. B. Earth has a greater diameter than Planet X. C. The acceleration due to gravity on Planet X is 98 meters per second per second. D. The acceleration due to gravity on Planet X is 500 meters per second per second.
The gravitation field strength of Planet X is 10 times that of Earth's, as the object weight has increased 10 times. This is only possible if the planet is more massive or more dense (smaller diameter).
