Comets and asteroids have also blasted pieces of Earth into space, some of which made their way to Mars, although not as often, because more energy is required to accelerate rocks out of Earth's stronger gravity and reach Mars' more distant orbit.
The fastest category cars (Top Fuel) can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in less than one second (subjecting the driver to about five times the force of gravity) and reach more than 330 mph and have elapsed times under five seconds in the quarter mile.
In the weak gravity, it reached a height of a kilometer and may have flown laterally another kilometer.
The values were lower in the center, and the maximum difference of the gravity anomaly reached approximately 0.3 mGal.
The knot appeared between the angles of 70° and 85°, shortly before the point of maximum moment from gravity was reached.
In orbital spaceflight, in the absence of gravity-determined sensory (i.e. otolith) or body orientation cues, astronauts inappropriately apply a model of Earth's gravity when reaching to catch balls that are directed downwards from the ceiling to the floor of a space module [5].
