Use the table to answer the question.

Planet Estimated Mass of Planet (1023 kg)
W 6.4
X 3.3
Y 59.7
Z 48.7
Assuming these planets were similar in radius, which planet would an object weigh the most?

(1 point)

on planet X

on planet Z*

on planet Y

on planet W

Help is this correct

why not the most massive planet?

weight (gravitational force) is mass related

1. 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.

To determine which planet would cause an object to weigh the most, we need to compare the masses of the planets listed in the table. The estimated mass of each planet is given in 10^23 kg units.

Comparing the masses, we can see that:
- W has a mass of 6.4 * 10^23 kg
- X has a mass of 3.3 * 10^23 kg
- Y has a mass of 59.7 * 10^23 kg
- Z has a mass of 48.7 * 10^23 kg

Since Y has the highest mass among the listed planets, an object would weigh the most on planet Y. Therefore, the correct answer is "on planet Y".
