Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.

Why does a empty sealed bottle collapse with altitude?

As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases. The air pressure inside the sealed bottle remains constant, creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bottle. This pressure difference causes the higher pressure inside the bottle to push outwards, leading to the bottle collapsing due to the lack of external pressure to balance it.


How altitude vary with gravity?

It is the other way round - gravity varies with altitude. In other words, you should consider altitude the independent variable. At a greater altitude, there is less gravitational force. This is explained by the equation - F(g) = G(m1m2)/(r^2) where G = constant, m1 and m2 = mass, F(g) = force due to gravity, and r = distance from center of mass. The altitude difference covered by humans daily (high buildings, hills) makes only a small, probably negligable difference in force due to gravity.

How do you find difference a negative number and a positive number?

to find the difference between a negative number and a positive number, you do the same thing as you would do for a positive and positive number. You just subtract the smaller number (which would of course be the negative) from the larger number (the positive). example: difference between 7 and -4 7 - (-4) = 11
