What else can I help you with?
Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.
Why does water dont spill when earth revolves?
Water stays put on the Earth's surface as the force of gravity pulls it towards the center of the planet. The rotation of the Earth creates a centrifugal force that counteracts the gravity, resulting in a balance where water doesn't spill as the Earth rotates.
What has a higher gravitational pull the equator or the north pole?
The gravitational pull of the earth is pretty much the same anywhere between the poles and the equator creating a centripetal force pulling things in towards the earth.. However, the rotation of the planet results in an outward centrifugal force pushing things away from the earth. This force is greatest at the equator. Even though the gravitational pull is the same everywhere, the centrifugal force at the equator gives the impression of a very slightly lower gravitational pull.
What causes slight flattening of the earth at two poles?
used by spinning motion of the earth around its axis passing through the poles...the force being max at the equator...since at tym of formation, earth was in fluid state, the force of cohesion was small & could not balance the centrifugal force...hence it bulged out at the equator
Are planets held in orbit by balanced unbalanced centrifugal or centripetal force?
-- If all the forces on a planet were balanced, then the planet would move in a straight line with constant speed, not in a curved path. So the forces on it must be unbalanced. -- That's easy to understand when you consider that there's only one force on the planet ... the force of gravity that attracts it toward the sun. That force is a centripetal one.
Is there a net force acting on the planet earth?
Yes, the planet Earth experiences a net gravitational force towards the Sun, which keeps it in orbit. Additionally, Earth's rotation causes a centrifugal force that counteracts some of the gravitational force.
How do the planet stay in place?
Centrifugal force
What are two forces that keep the planets revolving around the sun?
The force of gravity pulls the planet towards the Sun and this is balanced by the planet's "centrifugal force" away from the Sun. (Centrifugal force is called a "fictitious force" in physics. It's a mathematical way of representing the planet's tendency to move in a straight line path. Some people prefer to talk about the planet's "inertia" rather than centrifugal force.)
What forces keep the planet in its orbit?
They are the gravitational pull of the Sun and the "centrifugal force". In fact centrifugal force is not a "real" force. The effect is really caused by the inertia of the planet. That's its tendency to move in a straight line unless acted on by a force. The planet is acted on by the force of gravity. The result is that the planet follows a curved path - its orbit.
Can you equate gravity and centrifugal force of earth?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, while centrifugal force is the outward force acting on an object moving in a circular path. On the surface of the Earth, gravity is much stronger than centrifugal force, which is why objects remain grounded. At the equator, where the centrifugal force is strongest due to the Earth's rotation, it partially counteracts gravity making objects slightly lighter.
What is the frictional force on each of the planets?
Because space is a vacuum, the planets have no frictional force to slow them down, unless they collide with another planet. This is why earth does not stop and plunge into the sun. The forces involved in the orbit of a planet are gravity and centrifugal force, but not friction
Why planet revolve not attached to the star?
During the revolve two forces acts on it that it centripetal force and centrifugal force. when planet approaches near the star due to centrifugal force and get attracted due to centripetal force.As both forces act simultaneously .Hence planet revolve
What is G in centrifugal force 2000 G?
In the context of centrifugal force, "G" is a unit of measurement representing the force of gravity. When something experiences centrifugal force of 2000 G, it means the force applied to it is 2000 times that of Earth's gravitational force.
Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.
Outward force made by centrifugal force that keeps planets in orbit?
Centrifugal force doesn't exist, and there is no outward force acting on planets. The only force on them is the 'centripetal' one ... the gravitational force between each planet and the sun, that attracts the planet in the direction toward the sun. That's the only force required to keep a planet in orbit ... which is lucky, because it's the only force there is.
Why does water dont spill when earth revolves?
Water stays put on the Earth's surface as the force of gravity pulls it towards the center of the planet. The rotation of the Earth creates a centrifugal force that counteracts the gravity, resulting in a balance where water doesn't spill as the Earth rotates.
What main force creates and drives your weather on earth?
Centrifugal
