Answer:

[tex]h_{moon} = 11.8\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Since the work done is same everywhere in the universe. Hence, the work done in jumping will be same for the person on moon and earth:

[tex]W_{moon} = W_{earth}\\\\P.E_{moon} = P.E_{earth}\\\\mg_{moon}h_{moon} = mg_{earth}h_{earth}\\\\g_{moon}h_{moon} = g_{earth}h_{earth}\\\\(1.66\ m/s^2)h_{moon} = (9.8\ m/s^2)(2\ m)\\\\h_{moon} = \frac{(9.8\ m/s^2)(2\ m)}{1.66\ m/s^2}\\\\h_{moon} = 11.8\ m[/tex]
