A rock on earth has a mass of 750 kg and a weight of 7,350 N. If the rock is taken into outer space, how will its mass and weight be affected?

• the weight and mass will remain the same because they are not altered by the effects of gravity.

• the weight will remain the same, but the mass will change because of the effects of gravity.

• the mass will be 76.5 kg, and the weight will increase because of the effects of gravity.

• the mass will be 750 kg, but the weight will decrease because of the effects of gravity
