If a planet has twice the mass of Earth its radius would have to be larger by a factor of 2 for the gravitational field strength at the planet and surface to be the same as on Earth and surface?

Is there any relationship between the mass of a planet and its gravitational field strength?
The relationship between the mass of a planet and its relative strength of gravitational pull is that they are directly proportional. The equation for the force of gravity between two bodies is F = GMm/r^2, where F is the force of gravity, G is the gravitational constant, M is mass 1, m is mass 2, and r is the distance between the objects.
How does surface area affect damping of an oscillation?
The larger the surface area, the larger the damping of an oscillation
Why does Earth exert a sgronger gravitational force than the moon?
The bigger an object's mass is, the bigger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravitational pull is larger because it has a bigger mass.
Why does luminosity of the star depend on both its radius and surface?
If the radius is larger, the surface will also be larger. As a functional dependency, you only need one - the radius, or the surface - whatever.
Where would you find igneous rocks with larger crystal at the surface or below the surface?
Below the earths surface.
What affect does mass have on the strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
What affect does mass have on strength of a gravitational force?
The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force.
Why does earth excert o stronger gravitational force than the moon?
It exerts a stronger force on us (when we are on it's surface) for two reasons: 1. It has a larger mass (gravitational field strength increases with mass). 2. It is closer (gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object's centre of gravity).

Where is the strengh of gravitational forcen in the poles or equator?
If the Earth were a (homogeneous) sphere, the gravitational force on its surface would be the same everywhere. I think that the gravitational force is slightly larger at the equator (center bulging Earth). But you might not measure it because of the rotation of the Earth.
Why are flat washers used with nuts and bolts called washers?
To give a larger surface area, increasing the strength of the hold
Is gravitational force is stronger or weaker?
Gravitational force of the moon is 1/6th the gravitational force of the Earth. The larger the object, the greater gravitational force it will have.
Does a larger object have a weaker gravitational force?
no it does not
What is the point on earth where the gravitational pull is lowest?
Latitude, altitude, and the local topography and geology. Effect the gravitational pull of an area. In open areas, gravitational pull is lowest on the Nevado Huascaran mountain in Peru, and highest on the surface of the Arctic Ocean. In larger cities, the lowest gravitational pull is in Kuala Lumpur, Mexico City, and Singapore, with the highest being in Oslo and Helsinki.
Why do things move towards the Earth but not toward people?
Because the gravitational pull of the Earth is much larger than the gravitational pull of lets say... a human. You could argue that on earth there is a gravitational pull to humans, but the Earth is over powering that pull. So the object is pulled down (to the surface of the Earth) rather than to you or me.
How would you give an object gravitational pull?
All obects have a gravitational pull. The larger it is, the stronger the pull.
The surface areas of two similar hexagonal prisms are 882 and1058 What is the scale factor of the smaller prism to the larger prism?
It is 21/23.
