Two new planets are discovered, planet X and planet Y. The planets have identical volumes, but the mass of planet X is two times greater than the mass of planet Y. If two identical space ships land on each planet, which of the following will be true?
The mass of the space ship on planet Y will be greater than the mass of the space ship on planet X.
The weight of the space ship on planet Y will be greater than the weight of the space ship on planet X.
The mass of the space ship on planet X will be greater than the mass of the space ship on planet Y.
The weight of the space ship on planet X will be greater than the weight of the space ship on planet Y.
