A man can jump higher on moon than on earth. With same effort, can a runner improve his timing for 100m race on moon as compared to that on earth?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a runner can improve his timing for a 100m race on the Moon compared to Earth, we need to analyze the effects of gravity on both vertical and horizontal motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gravity**: - The gravitational force on the Moon is approximately 1/6th that of Earth's gravity. This means that objects weigh significantly less on the Moon. 2. **Effect on Jumping**: ...
