Indoor Baseball on the Moon: Gravity Modifications and Gameplay Adjustments

[sara195]

How would you modify the game of baseball in order to play it indoors on the moon? (The game would be played in a structure that would stimulate “earth like” air conditions) Nothing else regarding the moon’s environment would change. Concentrate on what would affect the game, such as the gravity and the appropriate modifications that would need to be made. Any help I can get would be very helpful, Thanks. (Simple people Talk Thank You)[?]

The moon's gravity is 1/6th of the Earth. You will need to compensate for it so that's a good start.

Just make a ball which is 6 times heavier than the normal one...

You could lower the mass of the batt, increase the mass of the ball, so that the transfer of momentum would grant a range of only the size of a baseball stadium. The acceleration of the ball remains constant regardless of its mass (given the mass is less than the mass of the moon) but your running time around the bases will be compromised as well.

Someone already started an identical topic before you. There's
nothing wrong with repetitive topics except that this one was created only 3 days prior to yours.
