I assume you mean micro gravity or in free fall when you write "space" You (the jumper) has to push on something.

Once you have jumped off something you will continue (as Newtons laws of motion propose) until you are stopped by another force.

Why is there no equal and opposite reaction when you jump into the air?

answ2. When you jump up, there is a force on the ground exactly equal to the force required for that particular leap. But of opposite sign.And when you land, the force on the ground is equal to the force you feel on landing. Again, of opposite sign.


When you jump on the ground the earth exerts a greater force back up on because it is so massive?

The force that you exert on the Earth is equal to the force that the Earth exerts on you; for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so says Newton. What is different is the amount of motion that results. You move, and the Earth (apparently) does not. Actually the Earth is moving all the time, in its orbit around the sun and by rotating on its axis, but it does not noticeably move because you jump on the ground. And that is indeed because it is much more massive than you are. False.


Is it true that when you jump on the ground the Earth exerts a greater force back up on you because it is so massive?

That is false. Please take a look at Newton's Third Law. The opposing force MUST BE of the same magnitude. For example, if you temporarily exert a force of 2000 newton (by jumping, the force will temporarily be greater than your weight), then the opposing force will also be 2000 newton.


Is it possible to jump through a invisible hoop?

No, it is not possible to jump through an invisible hoop because there is no physical barrier or structure to pass through.


How do you measure explosive leg strength?

One way to measure explosive leg strength is to perform a vertical jump test. This involves jumping as high as possible from a standstill position. The height reached can indicate the explosive power generated by the legs. Other methods include the use of a force plate to measure ground reaction forces during explosive movements like sprinting or jumping.

If you jump on a trampoline what is the reaction force?

The reaction force when you jump on a trampoline is the force exerted by the trampoline surface pushing back against your feet. This force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force you apply on the trampoline, allowing you to bounce and propel yourself upwards.


When you jump you push on the ground with your feet this is an action force the ground pushes back on your feet with an equal and blank force?

Opposite. The ground exerts a reaction force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force you exert on it when you jump. This reaction force is what propels you into the air.


When you jump up you exert an action force on the ground What is the reaction force?

The reaction force when you jump up is the ground pushing up on you with an equal force in the opposite direction, as described by Newton's third law of motion. This reaction force from the ground allows you to generate enough propulsion to overcome gravity and launch yourself into the air.


Is it possible to jump off the moon in outer space?

No, it is not possible to jump off the moon in outer space because there is no atmosphere to provide the necessary resistance for jumping. Additionally, the moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's, so a jump would not propel you far enough to escape its gravitational pull.


Do you jump with 2 legs in high jump?

Since a man jumped into space (look it up on google) yes it is possible

How far can you jump in space?

In space, there is no atmosphere to provide resistance, so an object can technically travel infinite distances. However, in terms of human capability, the distance you can jump in space would depend on your initial velocity and how you apply force.


When you jump does the world recoil downward?

No, when you jump, the world does not recoil downward. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you push off the ground to jump, the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on you, propelling you upward. The Earth is much more massive than you are, so the effect of your jump on the Earth's movement is negligible.


When a frog jumps off a leaf is that force a reaction force?

The action force is the frog pushing off of the log. The reaction force is the log pushing back on the frog. The result is the frog jumps. The force the frog exerts has to be greater than the reaction force of the log for movement to occur. Unbalanced forces equal movement. Balance foces = no movement.


How do you jump on Minecraft?

No there is no double jump in minecraft however you can sprint jump this can be done by first double pressing the W key and holding to sprint and then pressing space to jump and you will jump further


Is it possible to double jump in the game?

No, it is not possible to double jump in the game.
