A golf ball would have less potential energy on the Moon than on Earth. Aqui está o porquê:

* Gravitational Potential Energy: Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position relative to a gravitational field. The formula for gravitational potential energy is:

PE =mgh

onde:
* PE =Potential Energy
* m =mass of the object (golf ball)
* g =acceleration due to gravity
* h =height above a reference point

* gravidade da lua: The Moon has a much weaker gravitational field than Earth (about 1/6th the strength). This means the value of 'g' is smaller on the Moon.

* Impact on Potential Energy: Since 'g' is smaller on the Moon, the potential energy of the golf ball at a given height will be significantly less compared to the same height on Earth.

em resumo: Even if you hold the golf ball at the same height above the surface on both the Moon and Earth, it will have less potential energy on the Moon due to the weaker gravitational pull.
