Yes, gravity does effect a person's height because when you walk and run ect. during the day, your spine gets scrunched together, but when people go to sleep, your spine restores and when you wake up, people feel taller because of it.

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.


Does gravity effect your height laying down?

No, this is one of the reasons you are taller in the morning than you are in the evening. When you walk around during the day, gravity pulls and compresses your spine, causing you to shrink. But when you are lying down in bed, gravity isn't compressing your spine because the gravitational pull is perpendicular to the angle of your spine, allowing it to recover.


What happens to the velocity as the height increases?

As height increases, the velocity generally decreases due to the effect of gravity. This is because potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases, resulting in a slower velocity.


How does gravity effect the distance of egg splatter?

Gravity pulls the egg downward towards the ground, causing it to accelerate as it falls. The height from which the egg is dropped will affect the speed at which it impacts the ground, and therefore the distance the egg splatters. The higher the drop height, the greater the impact force, and the larger the splatter distance.


What does gravitational potential energy depend on of the object?

Mass, Height, and Gravity Gravitational Potential Energy= Mass * gravity * height

does gravity increases or decreases with height?

It decreases with height.


How do I work out a vertical height when it gives me kg and kJ of Ep and Gravity?

Ep (joules) = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height So: height = Ep / (mass * acceleration due to gravity)
