everything in the universe attracts each other, the heavier and closer two things are, the more they attract each other, except this effect is much to small to be felt on everyday objects, and only becomes apparent on very large objects such as the moon and the earth. but the moon is much lighter than the earth, and has a smaller radius (the distance between the centre of the earth, and the object, making each planet have a different acceleration due to gravity, making acceleration different as objects are pulled to the earth/moon at different speeds.
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth caused by the Moon is approximately 0.00003 m/s², which is extremely small compared to Earth's average acceleration due to gravity of about 9.81 m/s². This slight gravitational pull from the Moon is responsible for ocean tides. Although the Moon's influence is minimal in terms of acceleration, it plays a significant role in various natural phenomena.
It is the distance between the earth and moon.
They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the earth
To find the mass of the package on the moon, you can use the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's. So, if the package weighs 108N on Earth, its mass on the moon would be about 18 kg.
The acceleration of the moon towards the earth is approximately 0.0027 m/s2.
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
Yes. The moon is continuously 'falling' around the Earth, and the acceleration is due to the gravitic attraction between them. This is a different acceleration than the "go faster and faster" kind.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.

Although the Moon's influence is minimal in terms of acceleration, it plays a significant role in various natural phenomena.
The term acceleration due to gravity refers to the effects of the earth's gravitational pull on the body. It would differ if one was to be measuring it on other planets such as the Moon, Jupiter or Pluto.

No. The rate of acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.6249 m/s2 which is 16.7% of that on Earth. Things on the Moon weigh 16.7% of what they would on Earth.
