B, C
A, C, D
The ball went a lot further because both the force of gravity and
the air resistance are lower on the Moon. The force of gravity is
lower, so the ball will travel further before it falls back to the
surface. The Moon has a very thin atmosphere, so there are fewer
particles in the air. This means the air resistance is lower and so
the ball can travel further for the same thrust.
A. Weight on Earth = m x g = 65 x 10 = 650N
B. Mass will be the same wherever they are.
Weight on Mars = 65 x 3.7 = 240.5N
Weight on Earth = m x g = 65 x 10 = 650N
Weight changes according to the gravitational field strength.
It reduces air resistance and helps the bird to move with ease.
