A 1500 kg point mass (

A) and a 1200 kg point mass (B) are held in place 1.00 m apart on a frictionless table. A third point mass is placed between the masses 20.0 cm from B along the line connecting A and B and then released. Find the magnitude and direction (toward A or toward B) of the acceleration of the third mass just after it is released.

A) the same as you do on Earth.
B) two times more than you do on Earth.
C) two times less than you do on Earth.
D) four times more than you do on Earth.
