Planet a has three times the mass of planet b and the same radius. from this information, what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet a compared to that at the surface of planet b?

It would be 3 times bigger (formula is g= mass divided by squared radius)
Hence mass grows 3 times - g will grow 3 times as well
