The acceleration of free fall on the surface of planet P is one tenth of that on the surface of planet Q. On the surface of P, a body has a mass of 1.0 kg and a weight of 1.0 N. What are the mass and the weight of the same body on the surface of planet Q?

Amass on Q / kg: 1.0, weight on Q / N: 0.1

Bmass on Q / kg: 1.0, weight on Q / N: 10

Cmass on Q / kg: 10, weight on Q / N: 10

Dmass on Q / kg: 10, weight on Q / N: 100

✓ Correct answer

B: mass on Q / kg: 1.0, weight on Q / N: 10
