Because of centripetal acceleration you will weigh a tiny amount less at the equator than at the poles.

Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to poles?

say mass(m) = 100 kgvelocity(v) at equator = 464.6 metres / secondradius(r) to earth surface = 6 371 000 metresacceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.82 (m / s) / s.the force of attraction (f) anywhere on earths surface, = m * g = 100 * 9.82 = 982 newtons.the force of repulsion / centripetal force (f) at the equator = mass * (v^2) / r =3.39 newtons


What do you call if a change of an object position?

If an object has moved, I would say it has moved; there has been moment.

resistance force.

It has moved North of it


How can you tell an object has moved?

Because of its velocity (velocity is the rate of change of position), an object will move. An object is stationary if it has no velocity because it will not be able to move without velocity. Therefore, you can tell that an object has moved because of velocity.


Is it true if an object mass will change if you move it from earth to the moon?

Density depends on mass and volume. Neither of those quantities changes when a solid is moved to the moon.


What is insertia?

inertia the tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.
