The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world's tallest building. The structure is 828 m (2,716.5 feet) and has more than 160 stories.

A tourist is obviously using the elevator to reach their hotel room and after a long ride finally arrives at the correct floor where the tourist has − 187000 J of potential energy. If the 184 lb tourist has zero potential energy at the top of the building, what is the height h of the hotel room above the ground? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

 h = 599.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

height of structure = 828 m

weight of the tourist = 184 lb

                                 = 184 x 0.45359 = 83.43 Kg

Potential energy = 187000 J

PE = m gd

d = \frac{PE}{mg}

d = \frac{187000}{83.43\times 9.81}

h = 228.5 m

Height of the room above the ground.

 h = 828 - 228.5

 h = 599.5 m

Height of the floor above ground is equal to 599.5 m.

Sliva [168]

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, as we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases and as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases both are the true statement.  

<u>Explanation:  </u>

Newton law of universal gravity extends gravity beyond the earth's surface. This gravity depends on the masses directly and inverse to the distance square between their centers.

                                         F=G \frac{M \times m}{r^{2}}

Where,

F – Force, G – gravitational constant, M and m – masses in kg, r – distance in meters.

Since force is proportional to the masses of interacting objects. If the mass of any one object increases, gravity between them also gets increased. When moving to higher altitude, force decreases as the distance is inverse proportion to gravity.
