Question
what is gravity?
objects with more mass have a
stronger gravitational force.
earth has a much larger mass than the
moon, so earths gravitational force is
much greater.
because of this, something that weighs
100 lbs on earth would only weigh 17 lbs
on the moon. also, someone that could
jump 2 feet on earth could jump 10 feet
on the moon.
objects fall to the ground on earth due to gravity. if gravity
was weaker on earth, how would the speed that objects
fall at be affected?
all objects would fall faster.
all objects would fall at the same speed that they fall at now.
all objects would fall slower.
Gravity causes acceleration of falling objects. Weaker gravity means a smaller acceleration rate, so objects would increase their speed more slowly as they fall, resulting in slower fall speeds.
