Homework Statement
On Earth, an average person's vertical jump is 0.40m. What is it on the Moon?
Homework Equations
Fg 1 on 2 = G(m1m2/r^2)
G= 6.67 x 10^-11
The Attempt at a Solution
r= 0.40m
F Earth on person on Earth's surface = 6.67x10^-11(m Earth x m person)/(0.40)^2
r=?
G moon = ?
F moon on person on Moon's surface = G(m moon x m person)/r^2[/B]
I'm pretty stuck, and I don't understand if Earth is helpful in solving it or not. The textbook does not give any relevant values/equations except for the ones I typed under 1 and 2. Is G of the moon also 6.67 x 10^-11?
