How much more or less does gravity pull on an apple at the top of a tree compared to an apple half way up a tree?

If the tree is 100 feet tall, then the acceleration of gravity, and therefore the weight
of apples, is about 0.0005 percent less at the top than it is halfway up.
================================
Using:
Earth radius = 4,000 miles
Tree height = 0.02 mile
Halfway = 0.01 mile
(4000.02 / 4000.01)2 = 1.000005

Is specific gravity the same as density?
More or less. Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water - so the units may vary.
Which force makes an apple float in water?
the density of the apple is less than the density of the water, so gravity pulls the water down with more force than the apple causing the apple to be on top of the water
What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
Is this question true or false when there is less gravity there is less gas?
When there is less gravity, there is less gas is this true or false
Is there less gravity at a higher height?
Yes. Gravity drops off at the square of the distance. So the further you are from something the less the force of gravity you experience.
How is mars compared to earth?
Colder, drier, smaller, less atmosphere, less gravity
If you're on Mars will you be squashed by the gravity?
No. The strength of gravity on Mars is less than half of that on Earth.
What force of gravity here was less than half the pull exerted by gravity on earth?
pokemon
Why is there less force of gravity between two apples than between the earth and one apple?
Because gravity is a property of mass and the Earth has more mass than the apple.
How does the moon's gravity compared to earth?
Being smaller, the Moon's gravity is less than that of Earth.
The moon has no gravity but the rocket lands on it How?
The moon has gravity, all mass in the universe has gravity, but the moon being much smaller than the Earth it has less gravity compared to it, about 16% of the Earth's gravity.
Would the gravity on the planet Mercury squash someone?
No. The gravity on Mercury is less than half that of Earth.
What would gravity do to a person on pluto?
No. The gravity of Pluto is only about 6.3% of the gravity on Earth, less than half of the gravity on the moon. This is because Pluto is about 500 times less massive than Earth.
What planet has a gravity pull of less than half of earth?
the sun
How does the weight of an apple change when you move it from the earth to the moon?
Anything, including an apple, weighs heavier on earth due to earth's gravity. The gravity on the moon is much less, so objects are lighter.
What is specific gravity of crude oil?
Specific gravity of crude oil is how light or heavy it is compared to water. If the API gravity is less than 10 it will float in water.
Is Mercury's gravity pull to little?
If compared to earth, mercury has little gravity pull as its mass is much less than earth's mass.
