A heavy steel ball is suspended by a thin wire. The ball is hit from the side with a hammer but hardly moves. Describe what you think would happen if this identical experiment were carried out on the moon.

Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The explanation corresponding to the given situation is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Mass is the measurement of matter that is present in an object. Weight measures the gravitational force acting on an object. Mass is one of the factors on which gravitational force depends. On changing the gravitational force, weight of a substance also changes, but mass is independent of gravity. Thus, it is clear that with the large amount of matter, an object would have higher value of weight and mass.
Answer to Problem 1.1E
On the moon, the weight of a ball is low due to which it covers more distance on the moon than on the Earth.
Explanation of Solution
It is given that if a ball is hit with a hammer, it moves hardly on the Earth.
The gravitational force on the moon is one sixth the gravitational force on the Earth due to which gravitational force on matter will be more on the Earth than that on the moon. Gravity pulls the ball towards the ground and the opposing air resistance slows it down. The gravitational force and the air resistance on the moon is less as compared to that on the Earth due to which the ball can move further on the moon than on the Earth.
Conclusion
On the moon, the weight of ball is low due to which it covers more distance on the moon than on the Earth.
