Answer:

B. 45.0 kg

Explanation:

On earth the object has ;

Mass = 45 kg

acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

On Jupiter, acceleration is  24.79 m/s²

The mass of this object on Jupiter will be 45 kg. It will not change. Mass of an object will only change when you remove part of the object from it or add to it another part. The mass is the same on Earth and on Jupiter. However, due to increased acceleration on Jupiter , the weight will change/ increase because;

Weight = mass * acceleration

On Earth

Weight of the object will be : 45 *  9.81 = 441.45 kg

On Jupiter

Weight of the object will be : 45*24.79 =1115.55 kg
