How many times greater is the force of gravity on a 6.0 kg object lying on the surface of a moon than on a 6.0 kg object orbiting at a distance 6 times greater than the radius of the moon?

if an object is on the surface of Moon then the force of gravitation is given as

here

M = mass of moon

R = radius of moon

now in other case we have the same object orbiting at distance 6 times greater than the radius of moon

so the force of gravitation is given as

now we will find the ratio of two forces

so here the force of gravity on orbiting object is 36 times less than the object which is placed on the surface of moon

the answer is false

explanation:

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
