Flawed question. All answers could be in play?
So D?

Gravity is the result of mass and distance.
If they are of similar size and mass, then yes, they will have similar gravity.

Funny all the experts in this thread who probably googled before posting their answer.

They don't have to have the same gravity... just have to have gravity.
Which they all do, to some degree.

Scruffy didn't think so.
Talking out of your arse.

Is Scruffy saying the laws of physics are not the same throughout the universe? What else does Scruffy believe?

Scruffy didn't think so.
And there is only one universal law out there, Brannigan's Law. And it is hard and fast like Brannigan's love.

C.) Fall to the surface.

C) Fall to the surface of the moon

Seems to me it would just fall slowly downward, base don the fact that the astronauts aren't floating away when they walk on the surface

What if you have a moon with less mass than the pen? Then the moon would fall into the pen, because of the pen's gravity.

Scruffy is right. The question implies an answer for all moons in the universe. There are cases where given bodies gravitational pulls might result in any of the answers A-C (think microgravity, to conceptualize).

Then maybe the pen IS the moon?

C. Apply same to Feathers and Anvils.

the moon has gravity, c.
Had the moon had no gravity, it would have been really hard for the rover not to take off when it hit a bump.

quote:I believe the theory of gravity is a misconception to most people. Earth, the Moon, planets dont just have some force sprinkled over the surface. Gravity is a force of attraction relative to mass. so you an a pen have a gravitational pull toward each other but there isnt much mass so it doesnt come to you. where as the earth is so big it pulls you toward itself, creating what we know as Gravity.
The moon has some gravity.

C) at a rate approximately 1/6 of that on Earth.

The question does not contain adequate information. For example:
1) Is "dropping a pen" on the moon a clever euphemism for "dropping a deuce"?
2) Is the pen one of those astronaut pens that writes upside down (i.e. Is not influenced by gravity)?
3) Did Sir Isaac Newton ever visit the moon?
To every OT question, there is an equal and oppositely intelligent response.
