Can you give me two reasons why a spaceship requires less force to take off from the moon than to take off from the earth?
The force of gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of the Earth, so a spaceship is pulled down with a smaller force. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there is no air drag to slow it down.
Is there a point between the moon and the earth where the gravitational force acting on a spaceship is zero?

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.
Why do men weigh less on the moon?
because the moon has less mass than earth so humans weigh less on the moon than earth
Does the spaceship need more energy or less to take off from the moon than from the earth?
it will need more on earth
What is the minimum work that has to be performed to bring a spaceship of mass 2000kg from the surface of the Earth to the Moon?
We would have to know the masses of the Earth and the Moon to figure that out. But I will tell you this: The minimum work done is the energy needed to get the spaceship to the point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational influences of the two celestial objects cancel each other. After it passes this point, the spaceship will be pulled towards the Moon by the Moon's gravitational attraction, thus eliminating the need to push the spaceship further.

Is the moon tiny?
The Moon is tiny cause you're in the Earth covered by the Atmosphere. If you ride an spaceship or craft and look closer or even step it its some what like Earth but smaller and less water.
The weight of a spaceship on the moon would be less than it is on earth but which of these measurements would remain the same?
It is the gravitational pull from the Earth that gives us weight. Therefore, as the gravity on the Moon is a lot less, we would weight less on the Moon.
How does a spaceship get back to earth from the moon?
they get in the rocket and flies in to the nearest waters
How long would it take for a spaceship to reach the earth from the moon?
It took Apollo 11 three days to travel from Earth to the moon.
Is there a point between the moon and the earth where the gravitational force acting on a spaceship is zero?

Do you believe the moon is a spaceship or not?
The moon is not a spaceship, don't be silly.
Why is there less or no gravity on the moon then there is on earth?
There is gravity on the moon. It is about on sixth what it is on Earth. This is because the moon has less mass than Earth does.
Did Amelia Earhart walk on the moon?
Amelia Earhart flew a plane, not a spaceship, and she did not walk on the moon or leave the Earth's atmosphere.
