Question

Which statement explains why astronauts appear to bounce when they are walking on the moon?(1 point) Responses The force of air resistance acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth. The force of air resistance acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth. The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth. The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth. The force of air resistance acting on the astronauts is stronger on the moon than on Earth. The force of air resistance acting on the astronauts is stronger on the moon than on Earth. The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is stronger on the moon than on Earth.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: **The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth.**

This is because the moon's gravitational pull is about one-sixth that of Earth's, allowing astronauts to bounce and move more freely when walking on the lunar surface.
