Question

The value of g on the surface of moon is:

• A. zero
• B. the same as on the surface of the earth
• C. more than that on the surface of the earth
• D. less than that on the surface of the earth

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

less than that on the surface of the earth

Answer is D.
Because the moon has less mass than Earth, the force due to gravity at the lunar surface is only about 1/6 of that on Earth.
Hence, the value of g on the surface of moon is less than that on the surface of the earth.
