How far of a fall could you survive on the moon?

The answer is about 43 meters. Of course, that’s the serious injury level, and in fact the fall distance might well be less than that, as you lose bone mass from being in low gravity for so long.

What would happen if you fell on the moon?

The moon is just over a quarter of the size of the Earth. But if it had the same mass, then the moon’s gravity would be about 14 times stronger than Earth’s and you’d hardly be able to jump at all. If that same mass was squeezed down to the size of a village, it’d become a black hole, and we’d all be sucked into it.

Can you free fall on the moon?

Since there is no air resistance on the Moon, all objects would be in free fall at 1.6 m/s2. This means that they would all hit the ground at the same time if released simultaneously from the same height, but at a slower speed compared to objects free falling in a vacuum on Earth.

How high could a human jump on the moon?

Earth is 81 times as massive as the moon. In other words, you’d need to crush 81 moons together to equal the mass of our planet. Being much less massive, its attractive power is far less. On the moon you can jump 9 feet (2.7 meters) in the air from a standing position compared to just 1.5 feet (0.5 m) on Earth.

Can a human survive an impact on the Moon?

So if we accept that a human can survive an impact at given velocities (110 and 116 mph), Moon’s gravity isn’t sufficient to counteract atmospheric drag of 1 atmospheric pressure to such speeds to kill you on impact. I.e. the maximum survivable altitude to jump off in such conditions would be, theoretically, infinite.

How high can you jump on the Moon without falling?

Jump from a height of 829.49 m (2,721.42 ft) on the Moon, 137.2 m (450.12 ft) on Earth Free fall time of 31.98 seconds on the Moon, 5.29 seconds on Earth

What is the terminal velocity during free fall on the Moon?

Terminal velocity during free fall on Earth is reported to be about 110 mph (49 m/s). That would most probably result in a fatal fall. How high would a person on the Moon have to fall to reach that on the Moon?

What is the gravity on the Moon at 60 km/h?

We can derive everything else we need from these two equations, let me know if you require a more detailed answer in this part. Moving on, now let’s see at which height of a jump we reach 60 km/h impact on the surface of the Moon. Moon’s average surface gravity acceleration is 1.622 m/s 2.
