Re: Kicking up dust...

Hi Nathan,

Good point. A couple of questions.

Since the Acceleration of gravity is less on the moon would the particles fall more slowly?

Because gravity is less would the particle be launched higher?

Since no air resistance would they travel farther? Travel takes time.

Would the particles be ejected in a stream so they come back down continuously and not in a single event?
(Good for a few seconds)

With assumed Velocities, Masses and trajectories -Can anyone here estimate moon dust Hang Time? (Or should I say anyone feel like estimating?);)

Cheers,

Rob
