When you say "high", I'm guessing you mean "above the Earth's surface". If that's true,

then things weigh almost exactly the same up there as they do when they're down on

the ground.

The distance that affects the forces of gravity is the distance between the center of you

and the center of the Earth. That distance doesn't change much when you move up 40 feet.

A ball is dropped from a window 64 feet high How long will it take to reach the ground?

The time it takes for the ball to reach the ground can be calculated using the formula ( t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} ), where ( h = 64 , \text{feet} ) is the initial height of the ball and ( g = 32 , \text{ft/s}^2 ) is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the values, the time taken for the ball to reach the ground is ( t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 64}{32}} = \sqrt{4} = 2 , \text{seconds} ).


What is the driving force behind glacial movement?

Once the depth of snow and ice reaches more than 30 to 40 meters, gravity begins to pull the glacier down hill.Also as the glacier melts due to pressure if creates melt water which acts as a lubricant.


What is 40' RH container?

A 40' RH container is a type of shipping container that is 40 feet long and has extra height compared to standard containers, typically 9'6" tall. The "RH" stands for "Refrigerated High Cube," indicating that this container is both refrigerated and has increased height for larger cargo capacity. It is commonly used for transporting temperature-sensitive goods or bulky items that require additional vertical space.


How many times greater is the force of collision if the driving speed is doubled?

Answer: It depends. The "force" of the impact depends on the momentum of the object. Momentum depends on mass and velocity. If the mass and velocity are constant, then extending the time of impact will not change the momentum. Suppose you stand 10 feet away from me and I throw a brick at your face. Then suppose you stand 40 feet away and I throw the same brick at your face. It's going to hurt you about the same amount (ignoring gravity and air resistance). Suppose you are 40 feet above me and I throw a brick at your face. It will hurt less, because gravity will be slowing down the brick. Suppose I am 40 feet above you and I throw a brick at your face. It will hurt more, because gravity will be speeding up the brick. john


How far does a super soaker shoot?

The range of a super soaker can vary, but typically they can shoot water up to around 30-40 feet. However, some high-powered models can shoot water up to 50-60 feet or even further.
