The correct answer is b. the gravitational force on the moon is weaker than on earth.
On the moon, the gravitational force is about 1/6th of what it is on Earth. When jumping, the upward force or the pushing force against the ground remains relatively the same on both the moon and the Earth, but the gravitational force pulling the person back down is much weaker on the moon. This results in the person being able to jump higher on the moon compared to on Earth.
When you jump, you exert a pushing force against the ground, gravity pulls you back down why can a person jump higher on the moon then on earth a. pushing forces are stronger on the moon then on earth b. the gravitational force on the moon is weaker than on earth c. A person has less mass on the moon and earth d. A person weighs more on the moon, then on earth.
