    Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

    Explanation:

    Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

    g = GM/r^2

    Where;

    g = acceleration due to gravity

    G = gravitational constant

    M = mass of planet

    r = radius of planet

    Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.
