If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, you will be 8850 m (about 5.50 mi) above sea level. What is the acceleration due to gravity at this altitude?

9.773m/s2

Explanation:

Given,

h=8848m

The value of sea level is 9.08m/s2

So,

Let g′ be the acceleration due to the gravity on the Mount Everest.

g′=g(1−h2h)

=9.8(1−640000017696)

=9.8(1−0.00276)

9.8×0.99724

=9.773m/s2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the top of Mount Everest is =9.773m/s2

Hope it helped!!!

a) cold, dry

explanation:

continental polar masses are cold and dry air masses because the cold air cannot hold much moisture. as they move into warmer air, they can trigger precipitation.
