Would an object weigh more at the top of a mountain or at sea level?
You would weigh more at sea level. As you get father away from the surface of the earth, the force of gravity is weaker
What happens to the weight of an object when it moves farther away from the centre of the earth?
the weight of an object grows more
Why does an object weigh less at the top of the mountain than does at sea level?
It has to do with Earth's gravitational force. The farther away an object is from the object it is attracted to (in this case, the solid, magnetic core of the Earth), the less effect the force of gravity has on it.
What is the maximum speed an object can reach in free fall?
That would be the escape velocity of Earth, about 11.2 km/sec. I am assuming that the object falls from far, far away, and that air resistance is negligible.That would be the escape velocity of Earth, about 11.2 km/sec.

How does gravity change with location?
Take a simple bar magnet for example. Place an iron-like object near it and its attracted instantly. Place the object farther away and the object is influenced by less of the magnet's magnetic field. Similarly, the planet Earth, is a huge magnet. The magnetic field thus produced by the earth has an attraction of objects toward its center, i.e. gravity. The farther away from center of Earth you get(or the farther away from a magnet you put a metal object) the less attracted you or I become. So the higher in altitude from the surface of the Earth, the less of an effect gravity will have. Note that this change in gravitational effect is not a linear change, but logarithmic. In order to fully escape Earth's gravity, one would have to travel beyond Earth's Moon.
How father away is moon from the earth?
4.5 million km father away
The father the star is away from the earth the more is is?
Redshifted.

You would weigh more at sea level. As you get father away from the surface of the earth, the force of gravity is weaker
Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
What happens to the weight of an object when it moves farther away from the centre of the earth?
the weight of an object grows more
How is the force of earth's gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?
The object launched into space has rocket motors with more force taking it away from Earth than Earth's force of gravity has in pulling the object toward its center.
Does a red shift means that are moving closer to earth?
No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
If an object is moving away from earth what will be value of g?
For every 1% increase in the object's distance from the center of the earth,the value of 'g' in the vicinity of the object decreases almost 2%.
How did Cameron Diaz react when her father died?
She most likely cried as any child would do if their parent passes away.
How much force required to go out of earth gravity?
Any force greater than the weight of the object you're lifting will eventually take it as far away from Earth as you want it to be. But the force of attraction between the Earth and the object is never zero, no matter how far away it goes.
How is the force of earths gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?
When on Earth, you can escape if you move away from the Earth at the "escape" speed. Gravity will slow you down and you will reach zero speed at an infinite distance.
How should I keep my brother away from my stuff?
Why is this under snakes and to answer your question, lock it up with a lock even a simple lock can stall him long enough for you to react.
