Standing at the equator What is the centripetal force you experience due to the rotation of the earth How much does this force compare to the gravitational force you experience would it be noticeabl?

say your mass (m) is 100 kg
velocity (v) at equator = 40 030 000 / 86164 = 464.6 metres / sec
earth radius(r) = 6 371 000 metres
acceleration due to gravity at earths surface (g) = 9.82 (m/s)/s
.
gravity force at earth surface ( f = m * g) = 100 * 9.82 = 982 newtons
.
centripetal force at equator f = m * ((v^2)/r)
f = 100 * ((464.6^2)/6 371 000)
f = 3.39 newtons

What kind of energy would a skier have if standing at the top of a hill?
Gravitational potential energy.
What are two examples of gravitational forces in your life?
standing on the ground, which is also pushing against the ground...that is one.
What type of energy does a diver have while standing at the edge of a diving board?
I think itz gravitational potential energy
What force acts the opposite of gravity?
The opposite "force" from gravity would be anti-gravity, which is not an observed physical force. The opposition to gravity is normally by a reactive or repulsive force that overcomes gravity.The opposite of experiencing gravity is experiencing "weightlessness" (which is freefall within a gravitational influence, such as in an orbiting spacecraft or inside a falling aircraft or vehicle).
What is the uses gravitational energy in your daily life?
Gravity drags us down that is why we are walking and standing right now.But in moon there is no gravity in there.
Is gravity stronger on the earths surface than it is 100m up and then that's stronger than 200m up?
The gravitational field is stronger the closer you are to the Earth, so a person standing 100m up will experience a stronger tug than a person standing 200m up.

Gravitational potential energy.
Do the astronauts in the space shuttle 308 km above the surface of earth experience more or less centripetal acceleration than a person standing on the surface of earth?
The radius of the earth is 6.4 x 10^6 m. A typical orbit about 91 minutes. Show your work. Please answer this by tonight

When a person experience third stage or a total solar eclipse where is he standing?
He's standing in the umbra of the lunar shadow.
What local wind would you experience if you were standing in a valley?
bj
Earth's gravitational force will have the greatest effect on an airplane?
The gravitational force between the Earth and an airplane is greatest when the airplane is at the minimum possible altitude. Its effect on the airplane depends on how the gravitational force is related to the total system of forces on the aircraft, that is, what other forces are acting on it at the same time, whether it's climbing, diving, standing still on level ground, standing on sloped ground in a wind, etc.
What type of wind would you experience if you were standing in a valley?
valley pressure
