How high could you jump off on the moon?

How high could you jump off on the moon?

On the moon you can jump 9 feet (2.7 meters) in the air from a standing position compared to just 1.5 feet (0.5 m) on Earth. Near Jupiter, the most massive planet, you’d only achieve 6 inches, while on Martian moon Phobos, a jump would launch you straight out into space.

Would you survive a fall on the moon?

Certainly. You’d have to start a lot higher than you would on Earth due to the much weaker gravity, but consider that since the moon has no atmosphere, there is no wind resistance and thus no such thing as terminal velocity.

How high can you jump on Earth in feet?

Assuming you jump from a standing position (without running up), a normal jump may be around 1.5 meters on the ground which is about 4–5 ft. Assuming you jump from a standing position (without running up), a normal jump may be around 1.5 meters on the ground which is about 4–5 ft.

Do objects fall slower on the moon?

The Moon’s surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second. The Moon’s surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. You will notice that the objects fall slowly, because their acceleration toward the surface is only 1/6th what it would be on Earth.

How high can you jump on Jupiter?

Jupiter 24.79 0.19

How high could you jump on Jupiter?

How high can you jump on the Moon without falling?

Jump from a height of 829.49 m (2,721.42 ft) on the Moon, 137.2 m (450.12 ft) on Earth Free fall time of 31.98 seconds on the Moon, 5.29 seconds on Earth

What is the terminal velocity during free fall on the Moon?

Terminal velocity during free fall on Earth is reported to be about 110 mph (49 m/s). That would most probably result in a fatal fall. How high would a person on the Moon have to fall to reach that on the Moon?

What is the gravity on the Moon at 60 km/h?

We can derive everything else we need from these two equations, let me know if you require a more detailed answer in this part. Moving on, now let’s see at which height of a jump we reach 60 km/h impact on the surface of the Moon. Moon’s average surface gravity acceleration is 1.622 m/s 2.

Can a human survive an impact on the Moon?

So if we accept that a human can survive an impact at given velocities (110 and 116 mph), Moon’s gravity isn’t sufficient to counteract atmospheric drag of 1 atmospheric pressure to such speeds to kill you on impact. I.e. the maximum survivable altitude to jump off in such conditions would be, theoretically, infinite.
