Question

a scientist on earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather. which result is expected? the hammer hits the ground before the feather on both earth and the moon. the hammer hits the ground before the feather on earth, but the feather hits the ground first on the moon. the hammer and the feather hit the ground together on both earth and the moon. the hammer hits the ground before the feather on earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon.

Explanation:

On Earth, air resistance affects the feather more than the hammer, causing the hammer to hit the ground first. On the moon, there is no air resistance, so all objects fall at the same rate and the hammer and feather will hit the ground at the same time.

Answer:

The hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon.
