Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?

If so why? Does it fall fast?Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?
It would fall. Its speed would be determined by the height it was dropped from. It would accelerate at a rate less than it would on earth (less gravity) but its terminal velocity would be much higher (less atmosphere). In other words, if you dropped it from high enough it would hit the moons surface at a speed greater than it could obtain on Earth.





Example:


On Earth a golf ball will reach its terminal velocity of about 30 meters per second after falling about 250 meters. On the Moon a golf ball, or just about anything else, dropped from about 280 meters would reach this same speed. If dropped from higher than 280 meters it would reach even faster speeds. But on earth, no matter how much higher you dropped the golf ball, it would still hit the ground at about 30 meters per second. This is because the force of air resistance, at this speed, will have become equal to the force of the earths gravity and the ball would cease to accelerate.Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?
Yes it does fall because there is gravity on the moon. However, the gravity is much lower than it is on Earth, so the ball would fall much slower.





However, if you were just in space, the ball would not fall because there would be no gravity.
certainly. The moon has gravity, juts like all planets and moons every where.





But not as much. The moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of earth, so dropped object fall SLOWER than they do on earth.
It will fall.


But it will be slower and at the same rate as a feather or whatever else.


It's cos there's less gravity on the moon than it does on Earth.
go try it
I think it would fall on the ground, but slowly. If a human jumps off a story high balcony on the moon, the human would go down slightly fast but land safely, therefore a golf ball, much lighter than a human, would fall and land much more slowly than a human. Just my thought :)
