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?
