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
Is the altitude a measure of height above earths surface?
Yes, altitude is a measure of height above Earth's surface, typically measured in feet or meters. It can be used to indicate how high an object is located in relation to sea level or ground level.
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 does water table rise to ground level?
When the water table rises to ground level, it means that the level of water below the Earth's surface has reached the same level as the ground. This can lead to issues like flooding, marshy conditions, or water seepage into basements or foundations. It can also affect plant growth and the overall ecosystem of an area.
What is the highest point on Mount Everest when viewed from ground level?
The highest point on Mount Everest when viewed from ground level is the summit, which reaches an elevation of 29,032 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level.
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.)
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
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.
Is it possible for gravitational potential energy to have a negative value?
Yes, gravitational potential energy can have a negative value when an object is located below a reference point, such as the ground level.
What is 3 examples of gravitational energy?
Water stored in a hydroelectric dam has gravitational potential energy due to its position above ground level. A rock held at the edge of a cliff has gravitational potential energy because of its height above the ground. A roller coaster at the top of a loop has gravitational potential energy because of its position above the track.
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.

Often the ground is used, but this need not be so.
Where does the object have the most gravitational energy?
An object has the most gravitational potential energy at its highest point, such as when it is lifted off the ground. This is because the gravitational potential energy of an object is directly proportional to its height above a reference point, usually the ground level.
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.
Can the gravitaional potential energy of an object be negative?
Yes. Any object that is above a reference level has positive potential energy; anything below that reference level has negative potential energy. For example, if the chosen reference level is the ground level, anything below the ground level has negative potential energy. Please note that the choice of reference level is arbitrary. What matters is the DIFFERENCE in potential energy between two positions - and that doesn't change, whether you choose (for example) the ground level, or some other level, as a reference level.
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).
What does not have energy?
Any object that is at "level zero" has zero potential energy. In the case of gravitational potential energy, this level is sometimes defined to be ground level, sometimes (in Astronomy) at an infinite distance (in this case, any object that is closer than infinity has a negative potential energy).Any object that is at "level zero" has zero potential energy.
