Answer:
mass of earth =m
moss of the new planet -2m
radius of earth =r
radius of new planet =2r
gravity acting on earth =G*m/r^2
gravity acting on new planet =G*2m/(2r)^2
=G*2m/4r^2
gravity of earth /gravity of the new planet (G*m/r^2)/(G*2m/4r^2)
=1/2
this means that the gravity acting on the new planet is twice the gravity acting on earth.
gravity acting on earth-9.8m/sec^2
gravity acting on new planet =2*9.8m/sec^2
=19.6m/sec^2
mass of child =10Kg
weight of child on new planet =mass of child gravity acting on new planet
=10kg*19.6m/sec^2
=196newton
OR
20kg
Explanation:
Option C 20kg is the right answer
