Question

Una persona pesa 700 N al nivel del mar. ¿Cuándo sube a un avión a

10000 m de altura pesará más, igual o menos? Bien explicado por favor

Answer 1

The weight of the person decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of person at sea level = 700 N

height = 10000m

We know that the weight is given by product of mass and the acceleration due to gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity at height is given by

`g' =g* \left ( (R)/(R+h) \right )^2`

Where, R is the radius of earth and h is the height.

Now, as we go on heights , the acceleration due to gravity decreases, so the weight also decreases as we go on heights.
