What the difference between the acceleration of a baseball one earth compared to the moon?

A baseball on Earth will accelerate towards the center at 9.8 m/s^2 A baseball on the Moon will accelerate towards the center at 1.63 m/s^2 (according to wiki)


What is causing the moon to accelerate?

The Earth. The Earth and Moon are bound together by gravity and the Earth's tides (caused by the Moon) are accelerating the Moon and slowing the spin of the Earth. This means that the Moon is slowly getting further and further away from Earth.


Draw a free body diagram for the moon?

If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).


Will a hammer fall faster than a feather on the moon?

No. Both will accelerate at about 1.6 meters per second square.


Is the acceleration on the moon less or more powerful than on earth?

Gravity on the moon is lower than earth since it had lesser mass. The falling object would accelerate at slower speed on the moon compare to earth.


Is force same on earth and moon?

What force are you asking about? Gravitational force is weaker on the moon, but the force required to accelerate 1 Kilogram at 1 meter/sec/sec is still 1 Newton.


A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?

... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.


If the net force on an object is zero?

... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.... then it won't accelerate.


Object that are more massive accelerate faster on the moon than those that are less masive?

yep the same as thing happens aon erth


A net force causes an object to?

Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
