YouTube - Jumping on the moon at double speed
In my opinion, it doesn't look like he jumped more than 8 inches. They would have weighted approximately 60 pounds on the moon. I'm pretty damn sure I would be able to jump at least 3 feet if I only weighted that much.
THE MOON ONLY HAS 1/6th OF THE GRAVITY OF EARTH. So if you want to know how much something weighed on the moon, than you simply divide the earths weight by 6. For example I weigh ~180lbs, so on the moon I would weigh 30 lbs(180/6=30). (I can curl 40 lbs with one arm.)
If you think the highest that they could jumped was less than 1 foot than I feel bad for you. Remember that these people are used to walking/jumping on the earth, their muscles are used to earths gravity. I would imagine I would be able to jump double the height at 1/2 gravity, three times the height at 1/3 gravity, four times at 1/4th, 5 times, at 1/5th, and six times the height at 1/6th gravity.
So unless you(or anyone) can explain why I would not be able to jump 6 times the height (when applying the same amount of force when jumping) at 1/6th gravity, than I assume that I would be able to. It just makes sense to me.
Hypothetically, lets say I was on Jupiter, and lets say Jupiters gravity is double that of earths.(Without a space suit on, I would weigh ~360lbs) Say if I just came from earth and I was walking around on Jupiter, I would assume that if I tried to jump up, I would only be able to reach half the height that I would normally reach on earth.
Maybe someone should try that experiment... Jump up as high as you can and measure it. Than double your weight, and see how high you can jump up. I would imagine you would only be able to jump half as high. Also, I believe the converse is true too. I believe you will be able to jump up to a height that is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull relative to earth(........ Sorry for the technical jargon....... But I said it in layman's terms all ready......
.......) If your that much lighter, you can jump up that much higher, and vise versa.
Is anyone else following my logic?
