If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your mass?

• increase because gravitational force increases
• decrease because gravitational force decreases
• decrease because gravitational force increases
• nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force

The force of gravity on Jupiter is a little more than 2 times the gravitational force on Earth. If an object has a mass of 50 kg and a weight of 490 N on Earth, what would be the object's approximate mass and weight on Jupiter?

• 50 kg and 490 N
• 100 kg and 490 N
• 50 kg and 980 N
• 100 kg and 980 N
