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.

Where does a body have least weight in earth?

Center of earth.

What state in the US has the least tangential speed as Earth rotates around its axis?

Hawaii, because it is closest to the equator therefore covering more distance in the same amount of time, so its faster!


Where on the surface of the earth should you stand to experience the least centripetal acceleration?

Hello, To answer the question, the place where one would experience the least amount of centripetal acceleration would be at either the north or south pole. If you think about it, the part of the Earth that the spins the fastest is at the Equator. The North and South poles move the least while the Earth spins. Centripetal Force is all about making sure that a object on a spinning sphere keeps going around in a circle. If the object spins at a greater rate, the centripetal acceleration would be larger because there is more of a "pull" to keep the object in line.


How does the earth gain weight each year?

Obvious Answer:People are born which gains weight! At least 100,000 kg is added on each year! How can you not realize that!It is nothing to do with people being born because the only reason people grow is because they eat food which is already on the planet so no weight is gained.Actually the only reason that earth gains about 50-60,000 tonnes a year is due to meteors and meteorites landing on earth and they are caused by friction. (had a geog lesson on it today)

Where should you stand on the earth's surface to experience the least centripetal acceleration Explain?

As the earth bulges a bit at the equator, you should stand at the poles to experience the most centripetal acceleration. Looking at the formula for centripetal acceleration (Ac= v2/r), we see that as the distance from the centre of the body (r) increases, the acceleration decreases, therefore when the distance to the centre mass is smaller, as it is at the poles compared to at the equator, the acceleration is greatest.

Where the sun's rays strike earth most directly and least directly?

Directly is near the equator. Least directly is at the poles.


Why is the gravitational field strength stronger at the poles?

Gravity is a downward attractive force exerted from the centre of the earth. In other words, the closer you get to the centre of the earth, the stronger the gravitational field strength. The earth is not a perfect sphere. Both the north and south poles are closer to the centre of the earth. In other words, imagine the earth as a a slightly compressed football where the equator is farther from the centre of the earth while both the poles are closer. And because they are closer to the centre of the earth, gravitational field strength is stronger at the poles. But even if Earth were a perfect sphere you would still weigh slightly less at the equator than at the poles due to a small upward centrifugal force that results from Earth's rotation.
