Well weight is force exerted by gravitational field on an object. So if 'g' is acceleration due to gravity and m is mass of object then weight(W) of object is W=mg But gravitational acceleration on earth is given as: g=GM/(R+h)^2 G:Gravitaional Constant value 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 M:Mass of earth value:6*10^24kg R:Radius of earth value:6.4*10^6km h:Height of object above the surface of earth At surface of earth h=0 but at peak of mountain h will have some finite value. So as h will increase, g will decrease. Due to decrease in gravitational acceleration at peak of mountain the "WEIGHT OF CLIMBER WILL DECREASE"

Does the weight of an apple increase decrease or remain constant when taken to the top of mountain?

the weight will decrease


Can you feel gravity on top of a mountain?

Your weight is the result of the force of gravity. Without gravity you would be weightless and would float away. This does not happen on the top of mountains. Because you are farther from the center of the Earth, your weight is slightly less on top of a mountain, but compared to the diameter of the Earth, mountains are quite small, and the difference in weight is very slight, and would not even be noticed. So yes, you feel gravity on top of a mountain.


Does the weight of an apple increases or decreases or remain constant when taken to the top of mountain?

The weight of an apple remains constant regardless of its location because weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. However, the apple would weigh slightly less at the top of a mountain due to the decrease in gravitational pull compared to sea level.


Why does the weight of a stone is less at the top of a mountain than at its bottom?

The weight of a stone at the top of a mountain is less than at its bottom because the gravitational force decreases with distance from the center of the Earth. Therefore, at higher altitudes, the force of gravity pulling the stone towards the center of the Earth is slightly weaker, resulting in a lower weight reading on a scale.


What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?

The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.

How does Norgay say that Hillary describes him when he reaches the top of the crack?

When Norgay reaches the top of the crack, he describes Hillary as saying "Well done, Tenzing." This simple acknowledgment from Hillary carries a significant weight, as it recognizes Norgay's achievement and contribution to their successful climb of Mount Everest. Hillary's use of Norgay's first name, rather than a formal title or surname, reflects a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between the two climbers at that moment of triumph.

There are two types of flags that can be found on the summit of Mount Everest. Those of the country where a climber has come from and prayer flags that are left for the mountain gods.

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.


When a body is moved from sea level to the top of a mountain what changes the body's mass it's weight or both explain?

When a body is moved from sea level to the top of a mountain, its weight changes but its mass remains constant. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, so as the body moves to higher altitudes where gravity is weaker, its weight decreases. Mass, on the other hand, is the amount of matter in an object and doesn't change with location.
