Also for me is difficult. But as i can understand speaking for an imaginary asteroid we try to find the necessary radius for which the escape velocity is equal with the begging velocity that we need for a jump of 1 meter (according to the energy conservation: v0=√2gh).
Homework Statement
We assume an asteroid with density similar to earth. An astronaut performs a spot jump of 1 meter. Which is the maximum radius of the asteroid in order to escape the astronaut from the asteroid?
Homework Equations
Vesc=√2GM/R=R√8ΠGρ/3
