Would you weigh more at the top of a skyscraper than at ground level?
No, your weight would remain the same at the top of a skyscraper as it is on the ground. Weight is determined by gravity and your mass, which doesn't change based on altitude.
Why would a geologist need to check the land and soil that a skyscraper Is to be built on?
To ensure that the ground underneath the skyscraper can support the weight of the building on top of it. Otherwise the skyscraper will collapse and implode in on itself.
What is a simple definition of Einstein's theory of relativity?
A very simple definition of special relativity would be: 1. Nothing travels faster than light. 2. Light is always measured at the same speed (roughly 186,000 mph) no matter how fast you are traveling or the direction you are going. 3. The faster you travel, the slower time moves, the heavier you get and longer things become shorter. However, the hardest part to grasp is the fact that as you move, nothing to you is different. Your clock will still tick away at the same rate. An observer, however, would notice your clock running slower. You would notice the observer's clock runining slower while they would be seeing things perfectly normal It's all relative to the observer. General relativity incorporates gravity into the equation and shows how gravity effects time, bends light and thus effects time. A clock for intance on the ground next to the Empire State building will run faster than a clock on the top of the building because the pull of the earth causes clocks to run slightly slower then a clock that is further away from the center of the planet.
What is faster fedex express or fedex ground?
Fedex Express is faster
What is a lofty building?
lofty means high, so a lofty building is perhaps a building built high above the ground or maybe a skyscraper?
What is faster a outlaw 525 or raptor 700?
The 525 is faster for racing. but on flat ground the raptor would be faster.
What is faster ups ground or fedex home delivery?
Fedex is faster but UPS is safer .

Pavement
How can I Cook chili faster with chunks of meat or ground meat?
ground meat because it can cook to the inside faster and if it was whole then it would take a longer time to cook !:)
Why do skateboards go faster on a inclined plane?
Skateboard goes faster because it is on the incline not the flat ground
Why has Albert Einstein receive public recognition?
Albert Einstein is recognized for his groundbreaking contributions to physics, particularly his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. He also went on to become a prominent public figure, advocating for pacifism, civil rights, and scientific education. His work continues to influence scientific research and inspire future generations of physicists.
Why can you hear the sound of the thunder faster if you place your ear against the ground?
Because the ground is denser than air. The noise of the thunder, form where the lightning bolt strikes the earth, travels faster in the ground than it does through the air.
