Planet A has twice the mass of Planet B. From this information, what can we conclude about the free-fall acceleration at the surface of Planet A compared to that at the surface of Planet B?

A) The free-fall acceleration on Planet A must be twice as great as the free-fall acceleration on Planet B.
B) The free-fall acceleration on Planet A must be four times as great as the free-fall acceleration on Planet B.
C) The free-fall acceleration on Planet A is the same as the free-fall acceleration on Planet B.
D) The free-fall acceleration on Planet A is greater than the free-fall acceleration on Planet B, but we cannot say how much greater.
E) We cannot conclude anything about the free-fall acceleration on Planet A without knowing the radii of the two planets.
