How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?
The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n
List three facts about the Moon's gravity?
Moon gravity is 1/6 of the Earth, reason why the Moon only face Earth one side is due to both Earth and Moon gravity locking with each other and slow theMoon rotation to match the orbital period, despite low gravitational force it create tide pattern on Earth.
What is the apparent curving of winds due to earth's rotation is...?
idkkkkkkkk
Does how fast earth spins effect gravity?
There is no effect to gravity due to earth fast spins because gravity is other thing and spin of earth is different thing. So we could not compare to each other. Gravity is made of mass of earth and spin of earth is due to sun, as earth revolving around the sun.
Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....
Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?
No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.
How does gravity help the earth spin?
Gravity has little if anything to do with the Earth's rotation.
Is the gravity involve in the rotation of earth at its own axis?
No. Earth's gravity is the result of its mass.
What is a true state meant about gravity?
earth rotation on its axis causes gravity to occur on earth
Is the earths rotatin by gravity?
No, gravity doesn't cause the Earth's rotation.
What whould happen if the time of rotation for Earth was different?
The days would be longer, and the gravity would be higher if the rotation time of earth was longer. The days would be shorter, and there would be less gravity on Earth if the rotation time decreased.
If there was no gravity to hold the ocean would earth be dried out?
Other things being equal, without gravity Earth would quickly lose its atmosphere and ocean; Earth itself would probably soon be torn apart due to its rotation.
Does the moon give gravity to the earth?
No. Earth's gravity is due to Earth's own mass. The moon has its own gravity due to its mass, but that gravity is much weaker than Earth's.
How does rotation affect the value of gravity at the earth surface?
The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n
What keeps the earth moving?
The Gravity and Rotation in our solar system.
What happen to the acceleration due to gravity if earth stop revolving?
GRAVITYThe acceleration due to gravity is a force related to Earth's mass and is not dependent on its rotation - gravity would not change if the Earth ceased to rotate. WEIGHT However, if the Earth ceased to rotate, someone standing on the equator would weigh more - this increase in weight effect would decrease as you moved the person to the poles to do the comparison.
What are Tides on Earth are causes by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
