You just landed on the planet Olympus IV, famous for its sports competitions. It's a light planet: the average density is one quarter of the Earths average density. It's also a large planet: the diameter is the double of the Earths diameter. The Olympians are giving a high jump competition, and one crew member takes part. You know that on Earth he jumps 1.98 meters. The record at Olympus IV is 3.86 meters. Should you bet your salary on him winning the competition ?

Hi all,

I'm new to all this so here it goes.......

If the density is 1/4 Earths wouldn't the total distance be

3/4 again his distance jumped on Earth,

or 3.465 meters?
