An object with a huge mass also must have a huge
(a) weight.
(b) volume.
(c) size.
(d) surface area.
The correct option for the statement "An object with a huge mass also must have a huge".
Answer to Problem 4RAT
The correct option for the statement "An object with a huge mass also must have a huge" is option (a).
Explanation of Solution
The weight of any substance is a function of mass and gravitational acceleration acts on it. The weight of a body can be calculated by the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity of the planet. The magnitude of gravitational acceleration is constant at a particular planet.
Thus, it is concluded that if the mass of an object is huge, its weight is also huge. In contrast, the volume, the size and the surface area majorly depend upon the density of the substance. From this, we can conclude that option (a) will be correct in the given options.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement "An object with a huge mass also must have a huge" is option (a).
