A frisbee and a billiard ball are dropped on the Moon from the same height, at the same time. Which reaches the ground first?
The frisbee
The billiard ball
Neither, they both land at the same time.
Neither reach the ground. When let go, they float upward because the Moon has less gravity than Earth.
