Question

"You can jump 2 feet vertically on Earth. Figure out how high you would be able to jump on the Moon, where acceleration due to gravity is ⅙ that of Earth. Assume you launch upwards with the same speed on the Moon as you do on the Earth."

I've already measured how high I can jump and the velocity of the question but I am stuck on this part- It has been narrowed down.

Answer 1

kinetic energy at planet surface = potential energy at max height

(1/2) m v^2 = m g h

h = v^2/2g

so if g is g earth/6 then the height is h earth * 6

Answer 2
