if you dropped a hammer and a feather in space at the same time and same height above the moon, which would la

Answer 1

They will both hit at the same time

Apollo 15 proved this

Answer 2

so your teacher is looking for the answer that both will land at the same time - ( no wind resistance on the moon) and gravity acts equally on all objects

You could say the hammer hits first due to wind resistance since there is a very, very thin atmosphere on the moon, but it would probably take some sophisticated equipment to measure the difference - see link on lunar atmosphere

Answer 3

Boatman1is right, they will hit at the same time. On Earth the feather, being light and having lots of surface area, is slowed down by air.

Answer 4

they might hit the exterior on the comparable time, because of the fact there is not any atmosphere to communicate of. The gravity of the moon is .17 that of earth so it would take approximately 5 cases as long because it would from the comparable top on earth.

Answer 5

Well if you are standing on the moon both will hit the ground at the same time.

Answer 6

One of the astronauts... was it Schmidt? actually performed this on the moon.

Both landed at the same time. The reason: there was no air resistance, and both had the same force of gravity acting on them.

Answer 7

The constant acceleration downwards due to gravity is the same for every object on any given one celestial body. They'd hit it at the same time, so long as the environment is frictionless.

Answer 8

they would both hit the surface of the moon at the same time because there is no air resistance on the moon.

Answer 9

If you drop them in space neither will fall due to lack of gravity. If you drop them while on the moon then what all others said.

Answer 10

Same time. Sir Isaac Newton solved this a long time ago.
