Question

1. A ball is dropped from a height of 1 m from the earth's surface. How much time would it take
to reach the ground? With what speed does it hit the ground?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8m/s

2

whereas that on moon is 1.63m/s

2

which means the object falls at a faster rate on earth than on moon. If the ball is dropped from same heights on earth and on moon, the ball falls at a faster rate on earth and thus reaches the ground much earlier on earth.
