Moon vs asteroid Bennu
On the Moon, gravity is sixteen percent as strong as it is on Earth and more than sixteen thousand times stronger than it is on Bennu.
If a fifty-kilogram mass of solid iron were to hit the Moon traveling at ten centimeters per second, it would sink into the ground by only half a centimeter.
Repeating this experiment at Bennu would yield a dramatically different result.
Though the mass would strike the asteroid’s surface with the same force,
it would plunge seventeen centimeters before stopping – over thirty times deeper than at the Moon.
