The Earth spins like a top, at a rate of one revolution per day, or 15 degrees per hour. (It is actually a trifle slower than that, 1 rev per 23 hours 56 minutes.) We all know that "centrifugal force" causes (or appears to!) things to be pushed away from the center, and in the absence of gravity, we would all be flung off the Earth like riders on a runaway carousel.
So if the Earth were rotating more slowly, our weight due to gravity would be higher. SLIGHTLY. Trivially. Honestly, you wouldn't notice the difference.
What else can I help you with?
If Earth didn't rotate would there be day and night?
No, without Earth's rotation, there would be no day and night cycle. One side of the planet would always face the Sun, experiencing constant daylight, while the other side would be in perpetual darkness.
If you weight 100 pounds on Earth What would you weight on Mars?
Mars's gravitational pull is 38% that of Earth's, meaning you would weigh 38 pounds on that planet.
How many times does the earth rotate in 312 hours?
13.0356 complete rotations (rounded)
If your mass is 70kg on earth what is your weight on earth?
gravitational field strength on Earth= 9.8 m/s^2.: 70 * 9.8= 686 N
What is the difference between weight on mercury and weight on earth?
It would go something like this. e = Earth's gravity m = Mercury's gravity e*0.38=m Just put whatever number in Earth's gravity and do the math.
What would happen to your apparent weight if the Earth rotated more slowly about its axis?
If the Earth rotated more slowly about its axis, your apparent weight would increase. This is because the centrifugal force pushing outward due to the Earth's rotation would decrease, making you feel heavier.
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.
How would the moon appear to an observe on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
If the earth didn't rotate would the earth still have tides?
No
What happens if the Earth didn't have gravity?
The earth would not rotate.
What would happen if the earth did not rotate around the sun would the earth still have its seasons?
No
If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?
Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.
Why is the side of the moon is always facing earth?
The moon does not rotate on its own axis like Earth does. If you were on the moon looking at the earth you would see it slowly turning. As you have observed,we only see the same side of the moon from earth because the moon does not turn on its own axis.
What will happen to the weight of the object if the earth were to rotate faster than its present speed?
The apparent force of gravity on earth is not the same all over, the spin of the earth means that you weigh less at the equator than at the poles, due to the centripetal force from the earths spin. You will weigh about 0.3% less at the equator. If the earth spun faster still, this difference would be even more apparent.
Which planet rotates most slowly about it axis?
You would think that the largest planet, Jupiter, would rotate the slowest (every 9 earth days and 15 minutes), but it is actually Venus that rotates the slowest at one rotation every 243 earth days.
How would you use frontier in a sentence?
The earth can rotate on its axis.
