What is the name of the winds between the poles and the equator?
I believe it's Doldrums, Trade Winds, Horse Latitudes, and West Easterlies
What part of the surface of the sun moves the fastest?
The Sun rotates faster at the equator. Not only in km/hour, but also in angular speed. From Wikipedia: "The period of this actual rotation is approximately 25.6 days at the equator and 33.5 days at the poles." Note that the Sun is not a rigid body like the Earth. The differential rotation is believed to be caused by a combination of convection currents and Coriolis effects.
Is gravity in space stronger than earth's gravity?
No. Gravitational attraction is a function of the mass of the Earth and the mass of the body being attracted. The mass of the Earth is the same, no matter where one is located. However, the rotation of the Earth does exert centrifugal force upon bodies on the surface, and that force is greatest at the equator, diminishing as one approaches the poles. Centrifugal force would tend to reduce the measured weight (but not the mass or the gravitational attraction) of a body close to the equator.
If the mas of an object is 146 kilograms what is its weight in pounds?
146 kilograms = 321.874903 pounds but remember that mass is different to weight. Weight depends on gravity. A body with a mass of 146 Kg taken to the moon still has a mass of 146Kg but will weigh much less
What body of water bisects both the equator and the international dateline?
Both the equator and the International date line cross through the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the point where these two lines meet is in this body of water.
Is weight of body maximum at poles?
yes
Why weight of body is more at the poles need scientific reason?
Centripetal Acceleration is the scientific reason for why someone would weigh less while at the North or South Poles. However, there is only a slight weight difference.
What is the name of the winds between the poles and the equator?
I believe it's Doldrums, Trade Winds, Horse Latitudes, and West Easterlies
Why to name it equator?
The dictionary defines equator as: a great circle of the earth or a celestial body that is everywhere equally distant from the two poles and divides the surface into the northern and southern hemispheres Equator come from Middle English, from Medieval Latin aequator, literally, equalizer, from Latin aequare So it is called the equator because it is a line that divides the earth into two.
How does the weight of a body vary with its position on earth?
Weight is measure of the product between the body's mass and acceleration due to gravity acting on it. This acceleration due to gravity is different at different locations on earth. And hence is the weight. Poles are said to have higher acceleration of gravity.
How would the weight of the body vary as it is taken from the earth to the moon?
1/6 that of the earth
Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?
In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.
How does gravity affect weight but not mass?
Weight is equal to mass times gravity, so you can change gravity and the mass would not be affected. You can change gravity by leaving Earth, or by having additional G forces applied to you, such as when you speedily whip around a corner in your car. There is no other way to change your weight besides changing gravity without affecting mass, as those are the only two variables used when solving for gravity.
How much rice should i eat in a day?
At least 2e^35 of their body weight, inversely proportional to their distance from the equator
What force is acting on the weight?
Weight is , actually, the force experienced by a body on the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. It is expressed as the same way as force Force = mass*acceleration where as weight = mass*acceleration due to gravity Since mass of a body is constant and gravity is almost constant(9.8 m/s2 ) except at the poles where it is (10 m/s2 ) , a body has the same weight, wherever it is on earth.
Can a pole vaulter use a longer pole?
It depends on your weight pole vaulting poles can be measured by weight and height. the highest weight pole ive seen is a 180 but it also depends on your upper body strength the tougher you are the bigger the pole you can use
What weight do girls have to be before they stat their period?
They need to have 13% body fat or more. This does not translate to a certain weight, since height varies between people, and has to be taken into account when calculating weight.
