Is acceleration due to gravity more or less atop Mt Everest than at sea level?
The acceleration due to gravity is greater at sea level.
What forces hold Mount Everest together?
Gravity Electromagnetic force Strong Nuclear Force
Is the acceleration due to gravity more or less atop Mt Everest than it is at sea level?
The same
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
Where on earth do you have the lowest gravitational pull?
At the top of Mount Everest. The pull of gravity decreases as your distance from the center of the Earth increases.But Mount Everest is only about 6 miles high, and the difference is too tiny to notice.
Is gravity lower on Everest?
At the top, marginally less. F = G(m1m2)/r2 F = force of gravity G = the gravitational constant m1 and m2= the masses of the earth and the moutain r2 = the radius between the centers; earth's center and the centered on the tip of Everest. So, as the tip of Everest is 29,000 feet obove the surface, and this is added to the radius involved, the radial distance is somewhat increased and the gravitational force is somewhat lessened.
Does a man weigh more at the top of mt Everest or at the top base of the mountain?
The base because there is more gravity pulling him down when he is lower.
Where is gravity weakest?
at the farthest point from the center of gravity. On planet earth that would be the top of mt. Everest. However there are anomalies in the gravitational field that lead to there being less gravity in certain places of the world. NASA and the German Aerospace Center have launched the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment(GRACE) to measure the anomalies around the world. Results can be seen here http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gravity
How would mountion Everest fall down?
Several erosive forces are present on Mt Everest. Thermal cycling through cold and colder. Over-steepening as the Himalayas continue to rise. Simple mechanical failure due to gravity. (may be a variant of over-steepening)
Is acceleration due to gravity more or less atop Mt. Everest than at sea level and why?
It is less. The equation for gravitation is Gm1m2/d squared where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects and d is the distance between them. With increasing distance, the force is less.
Why would you weigh more on mt Everest than you would ay a low elevation on the moon?
Because Earth's gravity is much stronger than the Moon's, which means no matter where you are on Earth, gravity will pull you down harder than it would anywhere on the Moon.
Do we say Mount Everest or the Mount Everest?
Mount Everest
