What is the affect of altitude on weight?

Altitude does not affect weight directly. However, at higher altitudes, the force of gravity decreases slightly, which can make objects feel lighter. This is because gravity is slightly weaker at higher altitudes compared to sea level.


Does high altitude affect drying clothes in gas dryer?

Yes, high altitude can affect the drying time for clothes in a gas dryer. The lower air pressure at higher altitudes can lead to reduced evaporation rates, making it slower for clothes to dry completely. It is recommended to adjust the drying time or temperature settings on the dryer to compensate for the effects of high altitude.


How changes in altitude affect pressure?

As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases due to a decrease in the weight of the air column above. This results in lower air pressure at higher altitudes. The decrease in pressure can impact both human health and weather patterns.


What does not affect the amount of heat a body can store?

The type of material does not affect the amount of heat a body can store. The factors that affect the amount of heat a body can store include its mass, specific heat capacity, and temperature difference.


How does altitude from the surface of earth affect the period of a simple pendulum?

The period of a simple pendulum is not affected by altitude from the surface of the Earth, as it is determined by the length of the pendulum and acceleration due to gravity, both of which are constant at different altitudes within reasonable ranges.
