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%.
Mass and distance affect the force of gravity between objects.   The way these two variables affect the force is that gravity is directly proportional to mass. Double the mâ¦ass and you double the force of gravity generated by a given object.
