Question
If you were to perform the same races (that you had to perform for this project) on the Moon, what would the results of your races be and why? Which one(s)
A. Because it is so cold in space, the paper would freeze and not fall. The aluminum objects would win every race against the paper objects.
B. There is no gravity on the Moon. The objects would float to the ground in an unpredictable way.
C. They would all be ties because there is virtually no air on the Moon. Without any air drag, all objects fall with the same acceleration and thus in each race the two objects would hit the ground simultaneously.
D.Because there is virtually no air on the Moon only gravity would be pulling on the objects. Thus the only thing that matters is the weight of each object. Consequently, the heaviest object would win each race.
E. There is no gravity on the Moon hence the objects would not fall. There wouldn't be any results.
F. The results of the races would be unchanged.
Explanation / Answer
there is no air on moon so all objects will fall with the same gravitational acceleration. so both objects will hit the ground simultaneously.
hence option C is correct.
