Question 09/97
Lunar Olympics will be conducted in a closed stadium located
on the Moon. The stadium will be filled with air, pressurized to one
atmosphere. What will be the Lunar-Olympic records in various
fields (race, long jump, shot put, high jump, pole vault, weight lifting).
The table at the answer page details several sports and their
records on Earth. (The numbers are approximate and slightly rounded.)
Find the equivalent records on the Moon. The answer page will be filled-in
gradually as the answers arrive.
Oversimplified (and sometimes completely wrong) answers to this question
(or parts of it) can be found in many elementary physics textbooks).
