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
