The hammer will fall slightly faster, as every mass has it’s own gravity. The hammers greater mass has greater gravitational pull on moon.

I hadn't thought of it that way but it does make some sense. You would need a very long fall to show the difference to the naked eye.

The hammers greater mass has greater gravitational pull on moon.That's true, but the "greater gravitational pull" is balanced by that fact that there's a greater mass to be accelerated.

Forgive my advanced ignorance, but doesn’t the mass have to rotate to induce the gravity field? Or have I drowned in a sea of sci-fi hog swill.
