-- Acceleration of gravity on the moon =

(universal gravitational constant) x (moon's mass)/(moon's radius)2

-- Gravitational force on any object sitting on the moon's surface =

(Acceleration of gravity on the moon) x (mass of the object)

-- Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10-11 newton-meter2/kilogram2

Is there gravitiy in the moon?

Yes, there Is gravity on the moon. It is not as strong as the Earth's gravity (it is about 1/6 of the Earth's gravity), but, Yes, the moon does have gravity.


Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?

Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....

What are the problems of no gravity on the moon?

There are no problems. The moon has gravity.


Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?

There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.


How do friction and gravity relate?

The magnitude of friction is proportional to the magnitude of the normal force which is proportional to the magnitude of gravity(The magnitude of the normal force is indirectly proportional to the magnitude of gravity.). The magnitude of the normal force, N, compared to gravity, G, on angle z, is: N=cos(z)*G On a flat surface. N=G The coefficient of friction, whether static or kinetic, f is therefore: N=cos(z)*G*f
