Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg

His weight is given as 30 lbf

so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that

1 lbf = 4.45 N

Now from above conversion

30 lbf = 30 \times 4.45 = 133.45 N

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height

mg = 133.45

90\times g = 133.45

g = 1.49 m/s^2

now we know that with height gravity varies as

g' = g(\frac{R}{R+H})^2

1.49 = 9.8(\frac{6.37\times 10^6}{6.37\times 10^6 + h})^2

h = 1.0 \times 10^7 m

so above is the height from the surface of earth

Apollo astronauts took a "nine iron" to the Moon and hit a golf ball about 180 m.
Studentka2010 [4]
So in calculating this one its is really hard to explain how i get it on solve it but you must consider this factors that i give in getting the answer. First is the distance cover by the ball when it is hit by the club, Second is you must estimate both of those data when it is in the moon and in the earth whre the gravity of the earth is 9.8m/s^2 so by calculating the Gravity of the moon or gMoon is equal 1.74m/s^2

Which energy depends the arbitrarily assigned zero level
Serga [27]

Potential energy does.

A book on the floor has negative potential energy relative to the seat
of your chair, zero potential energy relative to the floor, and a whole
bunch of positive potential energy relative to the ground if the floor
is the floor of the passenger jet in which you are cruising and dropped
your book on the floor.
