Determine how much farther a person can jump on the moon compared to the earth if the takeoff speed and angle are the same. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is one-sixth that of earth. This will be graded. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 02:22, Oct 6

So, if the, uh, "gravity" (which is still just a theory) is six times weaker on the moon, THAT would mean that, if I jumped 1 foot up on Earth, the same force would send me 7 feet up on the moon. Although, as a creationist, I don't believe in all this science mumbo-jumbo.   Le Cejak • <2:25, 06 Oct 2008>

You can't jump at all on the moon. This is because if you were there you'd be dead. The dead tend to do poorly at such tasks. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 13:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah, but not if I pray hard enough! Seeing as how I'm a creationist! Ergo, I can do whatever I want, poopyhead   Le Cejak • <13:40 Oct 06, 2008>

The answer is simple: since Wikipedia denies the existence of the moon then the question is rendered invalid. Can I hand out the pencils at playtime now? -- Hindleyite Converse • ?pedia 13:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

the distance jumped on the moon is 12.498 times further, assuming the person is a uniform-density sphere, the moon-cheese-craters are symmetrical on a north/up axis, and the coefficient of surface sponginess is constant. SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 14:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

According to quantum theory, everything is possible, so if there is a difference (probably not), it's in the probability, not the possibility. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 20:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

/me destroys quantum physics. Do I win now? Judge Adriano "Legal" Zarbi Talk! 20:10, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

If you destroy quantum physics, you destroy reality. When reality is destroyed, a new reality appears out of nowhere with an even crazier quantum physics. Therefore, you lose. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 21:16, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Do we have to adjust for wind direction and speed on Earth? - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 02:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

The answer is pie. Do I win? Lieutenant THEDUDEMAN Dude ... Totally UOTM KUN GotA F@H 03:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

It's all relative. -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 15:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
