The Sierra Nevada mountain range is farther west than the Rocky Mountains in the United States.
The acceleration due to gravity decreases as you move farther away from the center of the Earth. This is because gravity weakens with distance according to the inverse-square law.
yes
Because the mountain is farther away from the gravitational centre of the Earth.
A person would weigh slightly less on top of a mountain due to the weaker gravitational pull at higher altitudes. This reduction in weight is caused by the greater distance from Earth's center.
The Pacific Time Zone is west of the Mountain Time Zone.
The Pacific Time Zone is west of the Mountain Time Zone.
Whichever puts you farther from the center of the Earth.
Acceleration affects a paper airplane by determining how quickly it gains speed or changes direction. Increasing acceleration can help the paper airplane fly farther or perform aerobatic maneuvers, while decreasing acceleration may cause the paper airplane to slow down or lose altitude. Balanced acceleration is key for optimal flight performance.
they are farther from the sun
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador has the distinction of having the peak furthest from the center of the Earth, due to the bulging shape of the planet. Though Mount Everest is taller above sea level, Chimborazo's location near the equator puts it at a higher altitude when measured from the Earth's center.
Yes, the marble's acceleration increased as it traveled down the ramp because the force of gravity acting on it remained constant, but the distance covered by the marble increased. This results in a higher acceleration due to the increased speed gained as it moved farther down the ramp.
