Question

You travel to various places around the world. With respect to the centre of the Earth, where is your gravitational potential energy the least?

a. on the top of Mt
Everest

b. on the roof of your
dwelling

c. at sea level
d. on the shore of the
dead sea (433 m
below sea level)

Answer 1

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is LEAST when you are on the shore of the dead sea because if you are on top of mount Everest, on the roof of your dwelling, and even at sea level, your gravitational potential energy is GREATER than being on the shore of the dead sea.

Answer 2

a. on the top of Mt Everest

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the closer you are to the center of the earth, the more powerful the earth's gravity is. The top of Mt. Everest is much farther away from the center of the earth than any of the other places.
