Understanding Gravity on the Moon: Debunking Moon Landing Hoax Theories

AI Thread Summary
Footage from the Moon does not appear like Earth's gravity when played at 6x speed because the acceleration due to gravity remains constant regardless of playback speed. The slower movement of astronauts and objects on the Moon is due to the Moon's lower gravitational pull, not the speed of the video. Playing the video faster does not alter the physical laws governing motion; it merely changes the rate at which the events are viewed. Therefore, the claim that the Moon landing was a hoax based on video playback speed is unfounded. Understanding the physics of gravity is essential to debunking such theories.

Pretty simple question...I don't know much about physics

since the accel. due to gravity is one sixth that on eath, does that mean footage taken on the moon played at 6x should appear like Earth's gravity, besides of course how high they jump

sorry if this is a stupid question

I was asking cause a friend of mine claims the moon landing was a hoax, and says if it were real that if played at 6x speed it should look like Earth's gravity(which it doesnt), can someone explain to me why this is not so
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Mainly because it playing back the video 6x faster won't change the acceleration due to gravity on the moon.
 
I don't understand, by playing the vid 6x faster wouldn't everything in the video appear to accelerate 6x as fast?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
