How hard would you have to jump to come off the moon?

Question

I got told this information a while ago and it was something 1700 KM an hour. But I'm not entirely sure :s

Can anyone help?

Cheers :)

Answer 1

Moon. — Escape Velocity: 2.38 km/s (5324 MPH)

Answer 2

Our moon has an escape velocity of 2.38 kilometers per second (8568 Kilometers per hour or 1.479 miles per second). This is far, far faster than can be achieved by human leg muscles. That speed is about 5 times the speed of a high powered pistol bullet.

Answer 3

I worked it out recently.  Hand guns can not fire a bullet fast enough that it won't come back down.  Maybe a high powered rifle can do it.  But i'll never be able to jump off of the Moon.  Everyone knows that white men can't jump.
