To determine whether a runner can improve his timing for a 100-meter race on the Moon compared to Earth, we need to analyze the effects of gravity on running performance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gravity**: - The acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s². - On the Moon, the acceleration due to gravity is about 1/6th of that on Earth, which is approximately 1.63 m/s². ...
