1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
At the surface of the Martian moon Phobos, the acceleration due to gravity is .001g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth. If you can jump 2 m high on earth, how high can you leap on Phobos? How long would it take you to reach your maximum altitude?
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
I tried to solve this using the kinematic equations so I first tried to find the time at the top of the persons jump by using V = at and then plug that into the equitation x = 1/2at^2. The problem is that the first equation, when I plugged in the numbers I got t = 0.
