Galileo's law of falling bodies

A.

An object at rest remains at rest and an object in uniform constant motion remains moving that way unless acted on by an outside force

B.

When two objects act on one another, they exert equal and opposite forces  on one another.

C.

All objects fall with the same acceleration, regardless of their mass or composition (if there is no air resistance)

D.

An object changes its motion in proportion to the applied force.

E.

GmM/R2

 

On the Moon, astronauts experienced gravity which is less than they had known on Earth.  Moon's mass is 0.012  (0.12 percent) of Earth's mass, and its radius is 0.27 times Earth (27%).  Therefore gravity on the Moon is only 0.16 or 16% of Earth's gravity.  A falling object on the Moon accelerates at about 1.6 m/s2.  If the Earth only had Moon's mass and still had its present size, how fast would a falling body on Earth accelerate?

   

1.6 m/s2

   

0.12 m/s2

   

9.8 m/s2

   

82 m/s2
