Question

Can anyone check my answer please? Thank you =)

Object E has a mass of 4,800 kilograms. Object F has a mass of 600 kilograms. Both objects were placed on different planets so that their weights are equal.

The gravity acting on Object E is ____1/8____ times the gravity acting on Object F.

1⁄8
1⁄4
1
8

Answer 1

Gravity increases an object's weight. So to make the weights even, we have to reduce the gravity on object E. 4800 / 600 = 8, so that means to make the weights even, the gravity on object E is reduced to 1/8 of the gravity on object F. 1/8 is the correct answer.
