28. John Carter, a Confederate veteran of the American Civil War, goes prospecting in Arizona immediately after the war's end. Having struck a rich vein of gold, he runs afoul of the Apaches. While attempting to evade pursuit by hiding in a sacred cave, he is mysteriously transported to Mars. On Earth he can jump a distance of 3.1 m. Ignoring the lack of atmosphere on Mars (which Edgar Rice Burroughs would have no knowledge of in 1912), how far could he jump in the lower gravity of Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38g?
