POCT in the ED â¢ Faster does not always lead to better outcome â¢ Lab tests are rarely the rate limiting factor in ED disposition â¢ Process analysis is the key understanding and improving patient throughput in the ED â¢ Test menu selection is a critical component of the potential application of POCT â¢ Match available tests to disposition decisions
Gravity decreases with altitude as one rises above the Earth's surface because greater altitude means greater distance from the Earth's centre. All other things being equal, an increase in altitude from sea level to 9,000 metres (30,000 ft) causes a weight decrease of about 0.29%.
The mass of each object will affect the force of gravity between the two objects, and the distance between the objects will affect the force of gravity between the two objects. The more mass that is involved, the greater will be the gravimetric force, and the smaller the distance between the objects, the greater will be the force.
