Why does a golf ball hit on the Moon travel farther than one hit on Earth? (Neglect air resistance and bad golfers.)
A. The Moon is physically smaller than Earth, so the golf ball only looks like it travels farther. B. The mass of the ball is lower on the Moon, so it is accelerated more easily there. C. The surface gravity is lower on the Moon, so the golf club can be accelerated more easily there. D. The surface gravity is lower on the Moon, so the acceleration of gravity is lower.
Observationally, how can we tell the difference between a white-dwarf supernova and a massive-star supernova?
A) A massive-star supernova is brighter than a white-dwarf supernova. B) A massive-star supernova happens only once, while a white-dwarf supernova can repeat periodically. C) The light of a white-dwarf supernova fades steadily, while the light of a massive-star supernova continues to brighten for many weeks. D) The spectrum of a massive-star supernova shows prominent hydrogen lines, while the spectrum of a white-dwarf supernova does not. E) We cannot yet tell the difference between a massive-star supernova and a white-dwarf supernova.
