An astronaut standing on the Moon dropped a hammer and a feather together from the same height. There is no air resistance on the Moon. What happened?
- A The hammer landed first
- B The hammer and the feather landed at the same time
- C The hammer and the feather did not move
- D The feather landed first
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
In the absence of air resistance on the Moon, both the hammer and the feather experience only the force of gravity. Since they are dropped from the same height, they will both fall with the same acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, they will both land at the same time.
