Best Answer

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.

When you throw a substance in air at what height there in no gravity at what height there is least gravity and at what height there is normal gravity?

The farther it is from Earth, the less gravity will there be. Gravity will never completely disappear.


Is earth gravity weaker on a top of a mountain?

Earth's gravity will not change normally on the ground, however yes, you will experience a decreased pull at your height, and you weight will also decrease. If you were to go higher, you would feel the gravity even less!


How does the height of the vehicle's center of gravity affect safe handling?

The higher the center of gravity the easier it is to roll over.


How does the change in height from which a ball is dropped impact its bounce?

Since the ball has air in it the higher it falls from the higher it will bounce. Gravity principle.


Does gravity contribute to your weight and height?

Yes, the measurement of your weight certainly depends on gravity as weight is mass multiplied by gravity, w=mg. Therefore, on the moon you would weigh less as your mass would stay the same but the gravitational field strength is less. The affect of gravity on height is not so obvious, although a stronger gravitational pull would cause the spine to contract, altering a persons height by mere millimetres.


How do different heights affect the distance of egg splatter?

The higher the height the bigger the radius will be, due to gravity


Could you jump up higher on the Moon or on Earth?

You can jump higher on moon,because there's less gravity.


How does higher altitude have an effect on pressure?

The higher you go into the atmosphere the less particles are present, because of gravity, so you have less particles pressing against you (pressure).


If the height is 246000000 then how is the potential energy?

246... of what? To calculate the potential energy, multiply mass x gravity x height. In SI units, use kg for mass, 9.8 for gravity, meters for height. Answer will be in Joule.If the height is in meters, the acceleration of gravity is much, much less. So you'll have to calculate the acceleration yourself by g = G × Mearth/246,000,0002.


Does the temperature increase as you get higher up in the atmosphere?

As you get higher up in the atmosphere there is less and less air on top of your head so there is less weight, meaning there is less pressure. Gravity. Atmosphere will be more compact closer to Earth because particles in the air have mass and are thus pulled down by gravity.


Why would the person weigh less on top of the mountain than on the Earths surface?

The higher you go the less effect gravity has on you.
