When you jump, you exert a force greater than the force of gravity to achieve a net positive upward acceleration - at least until your feet leave the ground and you quit exerting force. The net upward force is
Fnet = (force you push off with) - (force of gravity)
Because the moon has less mass than the earth, the force of gravity is less. As a result, the force you exert to jump on earth would give a higher net upward acceleration on the moon and allow you jump higher.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes you can because there is less gravity.

How high can you jump on the moon?
you can jump about six time higher on the moon than you can here on earth.
If you went to the moon you could jump much higher and farther because?
You could jump much higher and farther because there us less gravity on the moon so it never pulls you down so you can jump higher and farther.
How many miles long can you jump higher than a moon?
2163
Why can you jump higher on the surface of the moon than on the surface of the earth?
You can jump higher because the moon has a weaker gravitational pull:) Gravity is what pulls you down so you don't float off into space on earth
By exerting the same force Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth Why?
because the moon has no gravity.
Could you jump up higher on the Moon or on Earth?
You can jump higher on moon,because there's less gravity.
How high can you jump on the moon?
you can jump about six time higher on the moon than you can here on earth.
Would you jump higher on the moon or on earth?
i think the moon
If you went to the moon you could jump much higher and farther because?
You could jump much higher and farther because there us less gravity on the moon so it never pulls you down so you can jump higher and farther.
How would your ability to jump change on the moon?
You will be able to jump six times higher on the moon because the moon's gravity is 1/6th of Earth's.

What are good jump rope exercises?
Jack Cascio shows you in this video how you can jump higher and dunk.
What force permits you to jump higher on the moon than on the earth?
Lower force of gravity.
Why can people jump higher on the moon?
Because the Moon has 1/6th the gravity as on Earth. So for the same effort, you have 1/6th less "resistance" on the Moon.
