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.


Can you pull the gravity upward to make material move?

The Newtons theory of Gravitational Forces would apply. ---------------------------------------------------------------- However you cannot change the downward direction of gravity on Earth. Everything is being pulled towards the centre of the Earth. It is true, however that the gravitational pull is strongest at the Earth's surface, and the pull is less atop a mountain or down a deep shaft of a mine.


Who claimed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects?

Aristotle formed the theory that objects fall at rates relative to their mass. This is not true. Galileo performed the experiment atop the leaning tower of pisa where he dropped 2 balls of different masses and they fell at the same rate (9.81 m/s/s)


What is one situation where gravitational potential energy might be dangerous?

It would be dangerous when a boulder is atop a cliff and falls down. The gravity would pull it down. Thus making the potential energy dangerous, for if it had no potential energy, it would not fall. Thus creating no need for the "Watch for falling rock" signs.


What is housed in the nacelle of a wind turbine?

In the nacelle of a wind turbine, you will typically find the generator, gearbox, controller, and brake system. The nacelle sits atop the tower and houses all the components necessary to convert the wind's kinetic energy into electrical power.

Atop Mount Everest?

low pressure region


What pressure Atop Mount Everst?

The higher you climb the less oxygen there is. At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.


How did Jon Krakauer feels standing atop Mount Everest?

Detachment


Atop Mount Everest is low or high pressure?

The summit of Mount Everest has low pressure. At high altitudes, such as on Mount Everest there is less air above you. This means that the density and pressure of air decreases as altitude increases. Each intake of air on Mount Everest has only one-third of the gas molecules-including oxygen-that would be present at sea level.


Densly packed mineral crystals that sit atop the maculae?

Otoliths are densly packed mineral crystals that rest atop the maculae in the utricle and saccule of the inner ear. They play a crucial role in detecting linear acceleration and gravity, helping the brain with balance and spatial orientation.

On the contrary, air pressure decreases with elevation.


Why does it take longer to boil an egg on nthe top of Mt Everest versus at sea level?

It should take virtually no time to boil an egg atop Mt. Everest, as the air is less dense (it is higher up) so there is less pressure keeping the water from undergoing a phase change and boiling.


Who stayed at Mt Everest longest without oxygen?

Babu chiri sherpa spent 20 hours atop Everest without the aid of oxygen. He slept in a custom designed tent.
