To solve the problem of how high a man can jump on a planet with a density of one-quarter that of Earth and a radius of one-third that of Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between jump height and gravitational acceleration The maximum height a person can jump (H_max) is inversely proportional to the gravitational acceleration (g) on the surface of the planet. This means that if the gravitational acceleration is lower, the jump height will be higher. ### Step 2: Calculate the gravitational acceleration on Earth The gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth (g) can be expressed as: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} \] ...
