Which statement explains why astronauts appear to bounce when they are walking on the moon? (1 point)

Question

.
• 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 stronger 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.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

• The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth.

On the Moon, gravity is about 1/6th as strong as it is on Earth, which causes astronauts to bounce and move in a way that looks different from how they walk on Earth.
