If a cube has a mass of 90.91 kilograms and a weight of 200 pounds on Earth, what will its mass and weight be on another planet?

options:

The weight will be 200 pounds and the mass will be 90.91 kilograms

We can't figure out the mass or weight without knowing how much gravity is on the other planet.

The weight will be 200 pounds, we can't figure out the mass without knowing how much gravity is on the other planet.

The mass will be 90.91 kilograms, we can't figure out the weight without knowing how much gravity is on the other planet.

The mass will be 90.91 kilograms, we can't figure out the weight without knowing how much gravity is on the other planet.

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of substance a matter contains. The more the substance a matter contains, the more massive it becomes. The mass of an object is the same everywhere in the universe. Therefore, the cube will have the same mass of 90.91Kg in another planet.

Weight is a function of mass and the force of gravity on such a body. The weight of a body relies on the prevailing acceleration due to gravity in a particular place. Some places have gravity higher than that on earth and so they will have more weight. This is why we can't figure out weight without knowing the gravity in the other planet.
