On the Moon, gravitational field is around 1.6 N/kg. How does this affect gravitational potential and kinetic energy of objects dropped from a height on the Moon as compared with Earth?

Respuesta :

Answer:An object with mass in a gravitational field experiences a force called weight. This weight on the moon is about 1/6 but the mass of that object remains the same due to the moon's gravitational field which is less than the earth.

Explanation:There are factors that affect the gravitational potential and kinetic energy . They are:

1. The height of the object in the moon

2.The mass of the object

3. The strength of the gravitational field

4. The change in position of the object.
