An athlete can jump a distance of 8.0 m in the broad jump. What is the maximum distance the athlete can jump on the Moon, where the gravitational acceleration is one–sixth that of Earth?

1.33 m

Explanation:

Given:

Height jumped by athlete on Earth (y₁) = 8.0 m

Gravitational acceleration on moon is one-sixth of Earth.

So,

Height jumped by athlete on moon (y₂) = ?  

We know that, from equation of motion, displacement is directly proportional to the gravitational acceleration keeping the remaining quantities constant.

So,

Setting up a proportion for Earth and moon, we get:

Now, substitute . This gives,

Therefore, the height jumped on moon is 1.33 m.

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
