Question

A baseball is dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the Earth. The baseball falls to the ground. What would happen if this

baseball was dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the Moon?
OA. It would fall toward the Earth's surface.
OB.
It would fall toward the Moon's surface.
OC. It would fall toward the Sun's core.
OD. It would enter orbit around the Moon.

Answer 1

OB. It would fall toward the Moon's surface. The force of gravity on the moon is much weaker than on Earth due to its smaller mass. Therefore, an object dropped from the same height on the moon would fall much more slowly and hit the surface at a slower speed compared to an object dropped from the same height on Earth.

Answer 2

Answer: B

Explanation: the moon has very less gravity but it still has gravity and none of the other answers make any sense besides this.
