    Question

    Why a person can jump higher on the Moon’s surface

    than the Earth?
    A The moon has no Atmosphere Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The Moon’s surface is rough as compare to earth. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The acceleration due to gravity in Moon is smaller than that on Earth. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The temperature of Moon is cooler than that of Earth. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Mass and the radius of the Moon is lesser than the Earth. So, the force of gravity at the moon is also lesser than the Earth. Its value on Moon’s surface is g/6. As a result, the force you exert to jump on earth would give a higher net upward acceleration on the moon and allow you to jump higher.
