They experience the same gravitational force
They experience the same gravitational force

Object B

Answer 1

Question 1: 100 N
Calculation: W = m·g = 50 kg × 2.0 m/s² = 100 N.

Question 2: Object B
Reason: Weight ∝ mass, so B (100 kg) feels a larger gravitational force (100 kg × 2.0 m/s² = 200 N) than A (50 kg → 100 N).
