   If you're still having problems with fuzzy thinking then think   
   of it all in terms of energy.   
   In earth a 110 lb man can jump 2ft in the air if he can expend 300 joules   
   of energy or whatever that is in American money.   
   How high can a 110 wearing a spacesuit get on the moon with 300 joules?   
   You'll find it is not 10 feet but closer to 4'6".
