Would a golf ball have more or less potential energy on the moon than it does on earth?
On the moon. When a golf ball is struck on earth, gravity slows it and brings it to a halt. On the moon, there is very little gravity, so the potential energy of the golf ball is limitless.
How does the moon low gravity affect the game of golf?
the higher the ball goes it starts floating
How far did Alan Shepherd hit a golf ball on the moon?
Shepard esitmated the ball traveled 200-300 yards, however no actual measurement was taken.
If an astronaut hit a golf ball on the moon What would happen and why?
It would move and go 6 times as farther than on the moon due to the gravity of the moon being 1/6 of Earth's gravity.
What happened in Apollo 14?
Apollo 14 is the mission with the famous golf ball on the moon. Commander Alan Shepherd (also the first American in space) hit two golf balls while on the moon to demonstrate the lower gravity on the lunar surface.
What is stronger a golf ball or a brick?
Probably a golf ball, it is a lot denser. If you dropped a golf ball on a concrete floor it would bounce, if you drop a brick it will break.
What size ball fall the fastest?
golf ball

Could you hit a golf ball further on earth or the moon?
the moon
What is the first thing someone will do on the moon?
When Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969 he placed a flag, collected moon rocks, and used a golf club to hit a ball.
What did Alan sheperd do after he landed on the moon?
Hit a golf ball?
The longest distance for a golf ball to be driven?
200 feet on the moon
What kind of golfball is on the moon?
A golf that is non-circular sickle-shaped dimples looks like a moon but this golf ball is design for better performance.
How high does a golf ball bounce after being dropped 5 ft?
Due to a golf ball being so hard it hits the ground the energy is so strong it bounces up higher than any other ball. A golf ball is so hard and that energy just can't wait to get released and bounces up very high. There is many layers in a golf ball. All the layers are Sort of like rubber material so then that is why a golf ball bounces the highest.
Which would fall first if you dropped a bowling ball and a golf ball from the Empire State Building at the same time?
They will fall at the same time, and also hit the ground at approximately the same time (given errors for air resistance).
Do golf balls become weightless on the moon?
no, a golf ball would weigh about 1/6 what it weighs on earth.
How far can you throw a ball on the moon?
From Apollo By the Numbers (see related links for URL) "Before reentering the LM, the CDR dropped a golf ball onto the surface. Using the head of a "6-iron" attached to the handle of the contingency sample collector, he attempted to strike the ball but struck mostly soil and barely moved the ball. The second swing sent the ball a few feet to the right. He dropped a second ball which he hit into a crater about 50 feet away."
