Can you jump higher if the moon is directly above you?

Yes.

>>8504671
No.

>>8504675
>>8504679
>>8504671
Not substantially.

>>8504671
It's tough to say, the crust is being pulled on and this is probably more significant of a difference than what it can do to you, being much less massive

>>8504671
Obviously not if the moon is in the way.

find G((m1*m2)/r^2) for both the earth and the moon given your weight.

Add the resulting values for when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from you.
Subtract them for when the moon is above you.

Without actually doing the math, I'm guessing you'll jump higher at most a few millimeters.

Okay, so the gravitational force of the earth far outscales the gravitational force of the moon, regardless of its position. The difference is five orders of magnitude, as seen in pic related.
>tldr The moon is simply too far away for it to matter.

Checkmate, atheists.

>>8504686
That wasn't the question though. The answer is yes.

>>8504671
Above or below, yes. Barely. Both you and the Earth itself are being tugged by the Moon, but the Moon pulls on whichever one is closer slightly harder (kg for kg, that is). So whether the Moon is at Zenith or Nadir, tidal forces will result in a slight reduction in local G.

Best answer so far.

>>8504996
Wow. Excellent answer. Wouldn't have thought if that

>>8504989
>tidal forces will result in a slight reduction in local G
About a 1/10 000 000th of a g!

Can you jump higher if it's off a cliff to kill yourself?

>>8504671
Depends on which planet you're on.

>>8504671
depends, are you fat?

And with these precise gravitational effects, I can finally achieve 『Heaven』!

Yes.

Also, you can jump higher at the equator than at the poles, and when the sun is directly overhead.

Although, not by much.

with vert like mine... it gets complcated... the pull of the moon helps at first, but when I get above it it starts dragging me down

>>8504671
Anon, I dont know what to say. Might as well be asking...
>Can you jump higher while doing a handstand?
>Can you jump higher if you aim at the ground and miss?

>>8505599
So yes.

>>8504996
You are part of the earth though.

>>8508849
>You are part of the earth though.

Yeah man... but have you ever considered that whenever you jump, you are also pushing the earth DOWN? like, away from you?

LMAO

>>8504716
>you'll jump higher at most a few nanometers
FTFY
>Anon is not Doug Thomas

>>8504671
If the moon is directly above you, then you are getting crushed.

>>8508139
So if you want to set the world record for jumping you should do it on the equator during a total solar eclipse when it's occurring directly overhead...

While standing on a hill?

>>8511454
no, just go to the gym.

You guys didnt at all seem to consider the elliptical orbit of the moon and the geometry of the earth.
