Your weight is dependent on the force of gravity acting on you. The force of gravity is indirectly proporsionate to the square of the distance between you and the center of earth.
Your weight will therefore decrease as you go higher above the earth. Your mass however will stay constant.
What else can I help you with?
How does the number of particles in the air change as you move higher above the earth's surface?
1000
How does density change between the different layers of earth?
The deeper you get into the earth, the more weight you have above you. This results in pressure that increases the density of the material below.
Does the mass of an object change with location or altitude above the Earth's surface?
No it does not. Its weight, however, does.
Why does pressure drop as you travel upward from earth surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
Does your weight change if you travel to Jupiter?
Your weight would change if you traveled to Jupiter due to its strong gravitational pull. Jupiter has a higher gravitational force than Earth, so you would weigh more on Jupiter compared to Earth.
How does atmospheric pressure change as you move away from the surface of earth?
Atmospheric pressure decreases as you move away from the surface of the Earth. This is because the weight of the air above you decreases with higher altitudes, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.
Would your weight change on mt Everest?
mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere
Why does a barometer have a higher reading at sea level then at the top of the mountain?
Air pressure on earth results from the earth's gravitational pull on the earth's atmosphere. In some sense, pressure results from the weight of the air above the point at which one measures pressure. At higher altitudes, there is less air above, resulting in less weight, which translates into pressure.
How will your weigth change if you go higher above the earth?
When you go higher, the gravitational acceleration drops ( <9,8m s-2 ) So that means that you weigh les than on the surface of the Earth, but your MASS stays the same!
What property would change if a man were to stand on the moon of earth?
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?
Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes
If you weigh 220 lbs on earth how much would you weigh 200 miles above the earth?
Your weight would be slightly less at a height of 200 miles above Earth due to the increase in distance from the planet's center. However, the change in weight would be very minimal and would not be noticeable in this scenario.
