Scientists 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?(1 point)

The weight of the space probe on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space probe on planet Y.
The weight of the space probe on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space probe on planet Y.

The mass of the space probe on planet Y will be greater than the mass of the space probe on planet X.
The mass of the space probe on planet Y will be greater than the mass of the space probe on planet X.

The weight of the space probe on planet Y will be greater than the weight of the space probe on planet X.

Directions: The picture below shows four hikers climbing a mountain. Use the picture to answer the question that follows.
Keisha is really close to the top of the mountain
Joe is on the opposite side of the mountain of Keisha and he is lower down
callie and Jerry are on the same height of the mountain but on opposite sides and they are so close to the bottom of the mountain

The hikers want to know whether Callie or Jerry is feeling the most pull from Earth's gravity. How can this be determined?

by determining which person has the most volume, because they will have more gravitational pull
by determining which person has the most volume, because they will have more gravitational pull

by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull
by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull

by determining which person is stronger, because they will have less gravitational pull
by determining which person is stronger, because they will have less gravitational pull

by determining which person is faster, because they will have less gravitational pull

Answer 1

For the first question regarding the two planets (X and Y), the correct response is:

The weight of the space probe on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space probe on planet Y.

This is because weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. Since the mass of planet X is greater than that of planet Y, the gravitational pull on the space probe will be greater on planet X, resulting in a higher weight.

For the second question about the hikers (Callie and Jerry) and the pull from Earth's gravity, the correct response is:

by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull.

The gravitational force that each hiker experiences is related to their mass and the mass of the Earth, but the primary determining factor among them is their individual masses. Since they are both at the same height, differences in their mass will influence the gravitational pull experienced by each.
