PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY

Would a moon much smaller than our moon exert a gravitational pull on objects, too? How about something
the size of a mountain? Or a building? A car? An apple? Describe the effect that mass has on the gravitational
pull of an object.

Answer:

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second. The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth.
