How would the measurable properties of a golf ball change if it was moved from the earth to the moon?
The weight of the golf ball would be about 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity. The golf ball would also experience different air resistance on the moon because it has no atmosphere. Additionally, the golf ball's bounce and roll characteristics would be different on the moon's surface due to the lower gravity and lack of atmosphere.
Why a golf ball that is struck on the moon travrls a lot further than a golf ball struck on earth?
A golf ball struck on the moon travels much further than on Earth primarily due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull, which is about one-sixth that of Earth. This reduced gravity means the ball experiences less downward force, allowing it to stay in the air longer and cover greater distances. Additionally, the absence of an atmosphere on the moon eliminates air resistance, enabling the ball to maintain its speed without losing energy to drag.
Would a golf ball have more or less potential energy on the moon than it does on earth?
A golf ball would have less potential energy on the moon compared to on Earth. Potential energy is determined by an object's height and mass, with height being the key factor here. Since the moon has less gravity and a lower gravitational pull compared to Earth, the golf ball would not be able to reach the same height when hit, resulting in less potential energy.
Why a golf ball hit on the surface of the moon would travel for miles and miles?
A golf ball hit on the surface of the moon would travel for miles due to the moon's weak gravitational pull, which is only about one-sixth that of Earth's. This lower gravity means that there is less force acting on the ball to bring it back down quickly. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon eliminates air resistance, allowing the ball to maintain its speed and trajectory over a much longer distance. Thus, the combination of low gravity and no air resistance allows the golf ball to travel much farther than it would on Earth.
How far did Alan Shepherd hit a golf ball on the moon?
Alan Shepard hit two golf balls on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. The first ball traveled about 24 yards, and the second ball was estimated to have gone around 200-400 yards due to the reduced gravitational pull on the moon.
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?
Would a golf ball have more or less potential energy on the moon and why?
A golf ball would have less potential energy on the moon compared to Earth because the strength of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of that on Earth. With less gravitational pull to overcome, the golf ball would not have to work as hard to reach the same height on the moon, resulting in lower potential energy.
How would the measurable properties of a golf ball change if it was moved from the earth to the moon?
The weight of the golf ball would be about 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity. The golf ball would also experience different air resistance on the moon because it has no atmosphere. Additionally, the golf ball's bounce and roll characteristics would be different on the moon's surface due to the lower gravity and lack of atmosphere.
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).
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 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."
What falls faster a golf ball or ping pong ball?
In general, a golf ball falls faster than a ping pong ball due to its greater mass and thus higher inertia. This means that gravity has a stronger effect on the golf ball, causing it to accelerate more quickly towards the ground compared to the ping pong ball.
