Because there are miles of air on top of you and air has mass so all the mass of the air on top of you is on your head and the ground. (the air can't penetrate the ground)

Take note: Air is also denser at sea level because it was compressed.

Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

How much potential energy does a 40-N medicine ball gain when it is lifted 5 m?
777dan777 [17]
We know, Potential Energy = Force * Height
Here, F = 40 N
h = 5 m

Substitute their values, 
U = 40 * 5
U = 200 J

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

A stone is dropped from the top a 45m hign building how fast will it moving when it reaches the ground? Ande what will its veloc
posledela

Answer:

29.7 m/s fast, velocity is 29.7 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

v² = u²+2gs...................... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, s = distance.

Given: u = 0 m/s (dropped from height), s = 45 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2×9.8×45

v² = 882

v = √(882)

v = 29.7 m/s.

Hence the stone will be moving 29.7 m/s fast and the velocity is also 29.7 m/s
