Question

Which of the sport is most affected by variation of '$g$'?

• A. swimming
• B. jump
• C. horse riding
• D. shooting
• E. all are equally affected

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

jump

Except for jumping, all other sports mentioned have horizontal movements as well, and the vertical movements are not as much as in jumping, which has motion only in vertical direction. Since gravity variation doesn't affect horizontal movements, thus jumping would be affected most as it has the highest vertical movement of all the sports.
