  1. will the ball hits the ground?...i tot evrythg floats on the moon...


  2. The ball thrown on the moon because the force of gravity on earth is 9.8 meters per second, and on the moon it is cut in half- 4.9 meters per second. So, the ball thrown on Earth will be resisting motion more, resulting in more friction and making it travel less.

    *Hope I helped!!  =]

  3. Well there are only two factors which make the call on the moon wins are,

    1) there is no air that means there is no friction, so the ball travels faster and more distance.

    2) next the surface gravity of moon is 1/6th of earth and not half of earth, so the ball stays in space for longer time.

    Please friends if you dont know exact values dont post em here it may cause loss to other ppl.

  4. The ball that was thrown on the moon. Less gravity on the moon.
