On the moon, gravity causes a rock hammer to fall more slowly to the ground than on earth which lunar factors causes the slower rate of fall?

Due to the acceleration of gravity on moon.

Explanation:

The rate of fall of hammer depends on the acceleration due to gravity.

As, Weight = mass of hammer x acceleration due to gravity on moon.

The acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of moon and the radius of moon. As the mass of moon is smaller than the mass of earth and the radius of moon is also less than the radius of earth. So, the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is also less then the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

Thus, the rate of fall of hammer is less on moon then the earth.

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
