A Block, Moving on a Frictionless Horizontal Surface on Earth

question 28

Multiple Choice

A block, moving on a frictionless horizontal surface on Earth, requires a force if it is to be stopped. Now suppose that the same block, moving with the same speed on a frictionless horizontal surface on the Moon, where gravity is less, is to be stopped in the same time. We can say that, compared to the Earth,

• A) less force is required to stop the block on the Moon.
• B) the force required would be the same.
• C) greater force is required to stop the block on the Moon.
• D) the block could not be stopped.
