From Apollo By the Numbers (see related links for URL)
"Before reentering the LM, the CDR dropped a Golf ball onto the surface. Using the head of a "6-iron" attached to the handle of the contingency sample collector, he attempted to strike the ball but struck mostly soil and barely moved the ball. The second swing sent the ball a few feet to the right. He dropped a second ball which he hit into a crater about 50 feet away."
You can throw a ball much farther on the moon compared to Earth due to its weaker gravity, which is about one-sixth the strength of Earth's gravity. This means that objects on the moon experience less gravitational pull, allowing them to travel further when thrown.
Depends on how fast you throw it... ;)
On the Moon, gravity is about one-sixth that of Earth. This means that if you can throw a ball 30 feet high on Earth, you could theoretically throw it six times higher on the Moon, reaching approximately 180 feet. However, other factors like air resistance and the lack of atmosphere on the Moon would also influence the actual height.
when the ball leave your hands it go into the air and foul back down and slow motions
Use your whole body (hips, legs, etc) to throw the ball as hard as you can at a 45 degree angle and remember to follow through.
This question doesn't make sense ... are you a six year old?
very far
The weight of the ball affects how far it can be thrown by influencing the force applied during the throw. A heavier ball requires more force to throw, potentially resulting in a shorter distance due to increased resistance. Conversely, a lighter ball may be easier to throw with higher velocity, potentially covering a longer distance.
no it actuly helps im 9 5 feet1/5 and i throw hard and far
When you throw the tennis ball, it flies for a distance before dropping down because when you throw the tennis ball, you use force, which is transferred to the tennis ball, which then converts to kinetic energy (movement energy), to allow the tennis ball to go far.
When you throw a ball, two main forces are acting on it: the force of your throw propels the ball forward, while gravity pulls it downward towards the ground. The interaction of these two forces determines the ball's trajectory and how far it will travel.
To show how far you can throw a ball, you would typically use units of distance such as meters or feet. These units provide a clear measurement of the throw's length. For example, you might say you can throw a ball 50 meters or 160 feet. The choice between metric or imperial units often depends on the region or context in which you're measuring.
