on the moon, which object would fall with the same acceleration

∙ 12y agoIt would all fall at the same speed and hit the ground at the same time when they are dropped from the same height. The same is for earth. Try it sometime!

All objects fall with the same acceleration?
On Earth, all massive objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration - although air resistance affects different objects differently, so a feather accelerates more slowly than a hammer. But, as was famously demonstrated on the Moon, in a vacuum, both will fall in exactly the same time.
Where would a bowling ball and a napkin fall with the same acceleration?
In a vacuum chamber. C. On the moon.
Where would a bowling ball and a napkin fall with same acceleration?
In a vacuum chamber. C. On the moon.
On the moon witch object would fall with the same acceleration a bowling ball a shotput a Styrofoam cooler?
all three.
What would a 16 kg objects weight on the moon be in N?
If you look up "Moon" on the Wikipedia, you find that it has a surface acceleration of 1.622 m/s2. This is the same as 1.622 newton/kilogram.
On the moon name objects that would fall with the same acceleration?
Everything falls with the same acceleration on the moon. The acceleration is 1.6 meters (5.25-ft) per sec2.

How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.

How do newtons law of motion explain why objects fall to earth?
Newton's 2nd law F=ma explains that objects will move in the direction of the acceleration a. The object is subject to an acceleration, in this case the acceleration is g= GM/r2 toward earth. Newton discovered this acceleration in. his law of universal Gravitation, F=mGM/r2 This is why objects fall to earth. F=ma says that the force required to produce an acceleration is proportional to mass. The moon does not move in the direction of the acceleration. It accelerates but contiously misses falling onto the earth because it is moving sideways. For ordinarary falling objects, the force of gravity pulls them down, since they are not moving sideways fast enough to miss the earth. It's the law of gravity working here not the law of motion.
Why does a brick and a feather fall at the same rate on the moon?
The free-fall of objects (falling objects in vacuum or outside the atmosphere) is solely dependent on gravitational pull (in this case the gravitational pull of the moon) and is not influenced by factors such as weight, density or surface area since there is no atmosphere to resist such factors. Therefore a brick and a feather would fall at the same rate on the moon. F = GmM / R^2 force of grav But A = F / m acceleration due to grav So, F / m = GM / R^2 = A So the acceleration due to grav is GM / R^2 Notice small m is not an important consideration for acceleration in the formula for acceleration due to gravity... we define small m the mass of the smaller object (feather or brick) and big M the mass of the bigger one (moon). Another way to say this: acceleration with the same force is inversely proportional to mass A= f/m , but the force due to grav is proportional to mass. GMm/R^2. This leads to the cancellation of small m.
Will an object fall to the Moon's surface after being released?
If you are on or near the moon, yes. But the acceleration due to the moon's gravity is smaller than that on earth.
Does stuff on the moon float?
No. Objects rest on the surface. While gravity in the moon is much weaker than it is on Earth, it is still a significant force. Objects that are dropped fall more slowly but they still fall.
