What is the effect of an object's height on its potential energy?
The potential energy you mentioned is known as gravitational potential energy, which involves gravity. Gravity is a wonderful mechanism which acts like a rubberband. Let say the object is you riding a bicycle. To climb a hill, you need to input your kinetic energy which is to pedal hardly to increase your altitude(height). When you are at the top of the hill(summit), you have the greatest gravitational potential energy. What is the difference between you at the bottom of the hill and you at the top of the hill? The you at the summit has stored more energy in your mass, which can be converted only into kinetic energy when you roll down the hill.
The atmospheric pressure at the summit of MtMcKinley is 606 mm Hg on a certain day What is the pressure in ATM and in kPa?
The standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi which is equal to 1014 millibars and 760 mm Hg. Therefore 606 mm Hg = 606/760 of an atmosphere = 0.797 atm. Therefore in millibars it is 0.797 x 1014 = 808.5 mb. Now 1 mb = 100 Pa = 0.1 kPa, so 808.5 mb = 80.85 kPa.
What temperature does water condensed and turn into a gas?
This is not a cut and dry answer. The temperature that water evaporates to a gas and conversely condenses to a liquid is dependent on air pressure. Liquid boiling points can also be affected by impurities in the liquid, depending on the concentration of impurities. Thus in a pressure cooker water boils at a much higher temperature that it would under normal atmospheric pressure. This is also why you can't make a decent cup of tea on the summit of Everest because water boils at about 71 degrees Celsius at that reduced atmospheric pressure. So it is impossible to give a specific figure for this question.
Do the particles of a gas get closer together or farther apart as the pressure on the gas increase?
Closer together. Your question is oddly phrased, but ends up in the same place. You might mean to ask, "Are the atoms or molecules of a gas closer to each other or farther apart if the gas is at higher pressure?" Or perhaps you are asking if the atoms or molecules in a compressed gas ("as the pressure on the gas increase (sic)") are closer or farther apart. It doesn't matter, really, because the atoms or molecules in a gas that is at increased pressure are closer together than if they were at lower pressure. Air is at lower pressure at high altitudes than at sea level. The molecules of nitrogen and oxygen are farther apart, which is why it's difficult to breathe while near the summit of a mountain.The answer depends on whether the increased pressure is due to reduced volume or increased temperature.When a gas is compressed, the particles are forced closer together. The temperature also rises.To increase the pressure in a volume of gas, you can do either of two things:Decrease the volume. The same number of gas particles have to share a smaller space, so they must be closer together. Pressure (and temperature) rises.Increase the temperature. The particles move faster and try to get further apart. Since the volume is unchanged, the pressure rises. The distance between the particles is unchanged.

What is the term for the circular depression at the summit of the volcano?
It's just a crater shapped like a funnel at the summit of the volcano, located at the top of the conduit or pipe through which the magma reaches the surface.
What flags are on top of Mt Everest?
There are probably not that many flags on the summit of Mount Everest due to the high winds blowing them away. When a climber reaches the summit he or she usually leaves the flag of their nation.

Is summitt energy a scam?
Nov 2009. Two sales scammers from Summit Energy came to the door, presenting a hydro bill and trying to mislead me into believing that they're from the utility company. I suggest that they properly identify themselves in the future, and BTW, let me see your ID. At that point both took off their badges, became abusive and scurried away like roaches. Good Bye, Summit Energy.
Are they going to make the twilight series into film?
yes. Summit Entertainment has gained the rights to all four books. But making Breaking Dawn maybe diffcult because Renemsee would be hard to cast
