How will the weight of a man be affected if the earth stops spinning about it axis suddenely?

When the earth stops spinnig there will be no centripetal acceleration and will be no gravity.therefore g=0.
since w=mg
w=m(0)
w=o
there will be no weight of a body if earth sudddenly stops spinning

An object's mass is affected by earth's pull on it?
no. weight is affected
Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?
No. Weight is affected by gravity.
What affects weight?
Weight is affected by gravity. Gravity pulls you down causing you to have weight on Earth. Depending on gravity your weight changes. On earth gravity is 9.8 m/s squared.
The earth is spinning then why are not the people living on the earth spinning?
Because earth is so big that we can't feel it spinning unless you are at the middle of the core.
Would newtons change on the moon?
No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.
How does the spinning of Earth affect Earth's water?
Very little as it is spinning at a constant speed. However, the moon does affect the Earth's seas, greatly.
How does the spinning of earth affect the water?
The spinning of the Earth affects the Earth's water by creating currents and winds. The spinning of the earth is necessary to complete the water cycle and establish weather patterns.
How can your weight change when you move from pole to equator?
At the poles you are closer (slightly) to the centre of gravity of the earth, than at the equator. So a spring-balance weighing machine would register a slightly higher weight at the pole. Notice that weights for a see-saw balance are similiarly affected, so for that the reading would be unaltered. There is a slight additional effect nearer the equator due to the spinning earth - a spring balance there will register low, a see-saw balance won't be affected.
How would your weight be affected if earth instead shrunk?
Yes, as the grvity would be lowered.
If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
Why do we fall off if earth stops spinning?
We don't. gravity is slightly more on a non-spinning earth.
The spinning of the Earth on its axis is called?
RotationThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is known as 'the Earths rotation'Rotation.Rotating.rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
