Why does a hammer and feather hit the surface of the moon at the same time?
I've been trying to figure out this concept all week!
I know:
- there is a difference between G and g
- g is an acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)
- moon has no air resistance
Why doesn't gravity pull on the hammer more?
How is F=m*g relevant?
if same g, but different m, wouldn't F(orce) of gravity be the same?
