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

Answer:

The weight of the person decreases.

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

$g' =g\times \left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2$

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.
