One can equate the centrifugal force of the earth to gravity. In both cases, objects tend to be pulled to a central position.

Is Gravity is example of a centrifugal force?

No, gravity is not an example of a centrifugal force. Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass, while centrifugal force is the outward force experienced in a rotating reference frame.


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.


Does centrifugal force affect us since the earth is spinning so fast and does it influence the earths gravitational pull on us to some degree if so how much?

A "Centrifugal" force is a fake force. For example, if a person were to be spun in a circle, that person would feel like there was a force pulling them away from the center. However, that is not the case. The mass of the person has inertia and tries to escape the circle in a direction tangent to the circle at the point they are at.


How do you calculate gravity factor for centrifugal force?

The gravity force balancing the centrifugal force is mv2/r = mg. The centrifugal force is Del.cP = cmDel.V = mcv/r cos(VR), mv2/r = cmv/r cos(VR) is the Continuity Condition of stable orbit.


How gravity and centrifugal force work together?

Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, causing them to orbit around a common center of mass. Centrifugal force is the force that pushes objects away from the center of rotation, counteracting the gravitational force. The balance between these two forces determines the stable orbits of celestial bodies in our solar system.

Why is the force of gravity is not exactly the same everywhere on earths surface?

Two reasons: 1. Different distances from the Earth's center; 2. A "centrifugal force" that counteracts gravity in part.Two reasons: 1. Different distances from the Earth's center; 2.

Will the moon fall down if there is no gravity?

No, it will be "catapulted" away from Earth because of the centrifugal force.

How the force responsible for the moon revolves around the earth?

The moon revolves around the earth - due to a balance between gravity and centrifugal force.


Would the earth stop orbiting the sun if there was no gravity?

Yes. Because of the centrifugal force, the Earth will be "catapulted" away from the sun. But don't worry, there is no way that gravity disappears!


How is the moon held in place orbiting the earth?

A balance between gravity and centrifugal force ! The gravity of the earth is always trying to pull the moon closer. However - as with any spinning object, centrifugal force is trying to 'fling' it out into space. The two forces cancel each other out, and thus the moon stays in orbit.


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.

Why earth is not spherical in shape and why it bulges at equator?

Earth is an oblate spheroid due to its rotation causing a centrifugal force that pushes material outward at the equator. This bulging at the equator is a result of the Earth's rotation, the centrifugal force causes the equatorial region to push outward, counteracting gravity and giving the Earth a slightly flattened shape.


Which force is bigger between air resistance and gravity?

You can not equate the two.


The type of force that keeps objects moving in a circle or arc?

The type of force that keeps an object such as the Earth moving in a circle is a combination of gravity and centrifugal force. Gravity wants to pull the object inward, but centrifugal force wants to push the object outward. This combination keeps objects going in a circular path. You could also say that, for objects such as a rock attached to a rope that is swung in circles, the forces are the tension of the rope opposing centrifugal force. This is essentially the same thing, except with different forces at work.
