Two physics students have been selected to accompany astronaughts in a mission to space. they have to come up with a experiment to find the acceleration due to gravity on the moon.
Describe the following;
-The equipment needed.
- What needs to be measured
- What procedure
- What equations are needed to find accel due to grav on moon
for equipment I could only think of maybe a scale...

ah thanks for the rock suggestion, i think ill put for equipment -- ball, stopwatch and meterstick and just do a simple free fall experiment

Just Take Any Object To A Known Height , Drop It And Time It
Ruler + Accurate Stop Clock

All you really need is a ruler and a stop watch. Just pick up a rock and let it drop a measured distance.

If you're going the scale route, you'll need BOTH a scale and a KNOWN MASS. (I'm assuming the astronauts are going to lose a little weight on the trip, and we want to be accurate.)
