You do jump further because you weigh far less on the moon than earth

Because the gravitational field strength on the moon (1.6N/kg)is smaller than the gravitational field strength on the earth (9.8N/kg). Weight= mass×gravitational field strength. Your mass is the same but as g is smaller, your weight decreases. weight is the gravitational force, the downwards force towards the centre of the planet, and as it will be smaller on the moon, the force of attraction between the moon and you is smalller so when you jumb you will reach a higher point above the ground than when you jumb on the earth. Basically the moon 'pulls' you less than the earth.

What is the force holding you down?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The force holding you down is gravity.

Explanation:

Gravity is a force between two objects with mass. It pulls things together. You have mass, and the Earth has mass, so gravity tries to pull you and the Earth together. The gravitational force is much bigger for more massive objects.

A descending elevator of mass 1,000 kg is uniformly decelerated to rest over a distance of 8 m by a cable in which the tension i
Stolb23 [73]

The speed  V_{i} of the elevator at the beginning of the 8 m descent is nearly 4 m/s. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

We are given that-

the mass of the elevator (m) = 1000 kg ;

the distance the elevator decelerated to be y = 8m ;

the tension is T = 11000 N;

let us determine the acceleration 'a' by using Newton's second law of motion.

∑Fy = ma

W - T = ma

(1000kg x 9.8 m/s² ) - 11000N = 1000 kg x a

9800 - 11000 = 1000

a = - 1.2 m/s²

Using the equation of kinematics to determine the initial velocity.

V_{f} ² = V_{i}² + 2ay

V_{i} = √ ( 2 x 1.2m/s² x 8 m )

V_{i} = √19.2 m²/s²

V_{i} = 4.38 m/s   ≈ 4 m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the elevator is 4m/s.

How much acceleration can most humans stand before they pass out?
kumpel [21]
Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g's, and even that for only a few seconds. When undergoing an acceleration of 9 g's, your body feels nine times heavier than usual, blood rushes to the feet, and the heart can't pump hard enough to bring this heavier blood to the brain.
