Can an Astronaut Escape an Asteroid with a 1 Meter Jump?
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).- gagge78
