What is the distance from the earths ground level to the troposphere?
the distance of the troposphere from the Earth is about 17km from the equator and 5-6km from the poles
Does an object get lighter the further it is away from earths surface?
Yes. Weight is the gravitational force X the mass of an object. The further away from the center of the earth, the less the gravitational force. So you would weigh more at sea level than you would on top of Mt. Everest.
What is the lowest level of earths atmoshpere?
The Troposphere is the lowest level of Earth's Atmosphere.
What is earths average temperature at sea level?
15C 59F
What happens to the sea level when the earths climate becomes warmer?
it rises
The amount of gravitational potential energy that an object has depends on its weight and?
Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.Weight, height above the ground level (or other reference level), the strength of the gravitational field.
How can you tell that a high diver has gravitational potential energy?
If an object is above ground level, it has positive gravitational potential energy. (This assumes you define ground level to be zero - actually, you can define any level to be zero.)
How is work related to gravitational potential energy?
As we lift a body of mass m from ground level to a height h, then work performed will be mgh which is equal to the difference in gravitational potential energy at the ground level and at that height.
What energy do gliders use?
The gravitational potential energy, from the fact that they are at a higher level, i.e., above ground level.
What is the gravitational potential energy equation?
Gravitational potential energy = Mass x gravity x heightTherefore, an object at ground level is 0 meters above the ground, thus having no potential energy.PE = mghm = massg = gravitational accelerationh = height
An example of gravitational potential energy?
Any object that is above the chosen reference level has gravitational potential energy. If your chosen reference level is the ground level, a book on the table, or you yourself if you are standing rather than lying on the floor, have potential energy.
What kind of energy is stored in a book on a table?
The idea is that, since it is above ground level, it has gravitational potential energy.
What is a reason that the ozone near the earths surface is dangerous?
Ozone at ground level is a pollutant. It is a greenhouse gas.
A ball held above the floor has what type of energy?
Any object above ground level has gravitational potential energy. Actually, ground level is commonly chosen as the reference level, but any other level may be chosen as well. The choice is arbitrary.
Gravitational potential energy is always measured in relation to?
Relative to some arbitrary reference height. Often the ground is used, but this need not be so.Relative to some arbitrary reference height.

Characteristics of gravitational potential energy?
It isn't clear to me what you mean with "indicators" - an object has positive gravitational potential energy if it has mass, and if it is above ground level (or above any other reference level you choose to define as level zero).
