The hammer and the feather stayed where they were.
6.11b
In 1971, the Apollo 15 spacecraft landed on the moon. During this mission,
astronaut David Scott wanted to see what would happen if he dropped a hammer
and a feather from the same height while standing on the moon’s surface. He
performed the experiment, dropping both objects at the same time. What happened?

The hammer hit the ground as the feather 
floated away

The hammer and the feather hit the ground 

at the same time.

The hammer hit the ground first and then the 

feather hit.

Objects with greater masses have
a ______________ force of attraction 
decreased
less
Greater
equal
