Abstract


This paper investigates at what radius away from Earth the game winning dunk from Space Jam would be possible. It was found that a gravitational acceleration of 1.21 ms^-2 would be required, leading to a distance of 1.63x10^8 m away from the surface of the Earth. The body with the most similar gravitational force to this was found to be one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa.
