ANSWER:

The Moon's gravity is less than Earth's.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When you jump, you fall back to the ground. Apples or leaves also fall: we are all attracted to the Earth. It is the terrestrial attraction due to the force of gravity.

The force of gravity also exists on the Moon. But since the Moon is smaller than the Earth, the attraction felt on the Moon is smaller than the Earth's attraction.

As the gravity is less, you can do things such as the one shown in the image.

As the force of attraction is less, the weight is less on the Moon, which can cause things that would be impossible on Earth.

You are at the edge of a diving board that is 9 meters above the water. If you weigh 500 Newtons, what is your potential energy?

Semenov [28]

Answer:

4500 J

Explanation:

First, let's define some equations and derivations.

Our potential energy formula is:

$\displaystyle U = mgh$

Where m is mass (in kg), g is the gravitational constant (in m/s²), and h is height (in m).

We also know that mg is equal to the weight of an object (in N), from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F = ma (Force is equal to [constant] mass times acceleration).

Therefore, we can simply substitute force into the equation:
