If the Earth were to slow down, the length of a day would increase, causing changes in weather patterns, ocean currents, and ecosystems. This could lead to disruptions in agriculture, navigation, and communication systems.
only earth. __________________ No. Adding weight will slow it down, but the angular momentum would be preserved. In order to stop it completely, some opposite force would need to be exerted to neutralize the angular momentum.
The value of g would increase if the compound pendulum is taken nearer to the center of the Earth. This is because gravity is stronger closer to the Earth's surface. Conversely, if the compound pendulum is moved further away from the center of the Earth, the value of g would decrease.
When light passes through dense materials, such as glass or water, it is slowed down due to the interactions with the atoms in the material. This slowing down causes the light to bend or refract as it passes through the material. The denser the material, the more the light is slowed down and bent.
If gravity suddenly did not exist on Earth, everything would float off into space since there would be no force holding things down. The atmosphere would disperse, water bodies would break apart and life as we know it would not survive without the gravitational pull that keeps everything in place.
Sunlight is slowed the most when traveling through a medium with a high refractive index, such as glass or water. This is due to the increased interaction between the photons of light and the atoms in the medium, causing the light to bend and slow down.
If the convection currents in the earth's mantle slowed down then the mantle would slow down. Eventually, the mantle would stop all movement.
Then our hours on day and night would be alot longer
If the Earth's rotation slowed down, our we would have less gravity, and when we have less gravity we have things floating around for long nights and long days (also due to the planet slowing down). This can lead to many dis functions and could cause the appearance of anti-matter.
If that were the only change, the seasons would simply be longer in duration, extending to about one quarter of the orbital period each.
The influence of the Earth has slowed down the rotation of the moon.
If convection in the mantle slowed down, it would likely lead to a decrease in plate tectonic activity, potentially resulting in reduced volcanic eruptions and seismic activity. This could also impact the movement of continents and the overall heat distribution within the Earth, affecting various geological processes.
Nothing realy really. If it sped up it would spin faster and make shorter days and would revolve around the sun faster. If it slowed down it would spin slower making longer days and it would revolve around the sun slower.
we would all die
the orbit would take a lot more time for mercury to complete and if it were to completly stop every unattached thing to the planet would fly off
a the convections currents of earth would slow down and eventually stop. by the way, I'm 12
There are thousands of reasons this could happen and not diagnoiseable unlesss it is doing it when the mechanic has it.
Your question is not complete; slowed doen by how much? right now it takes 29.5 earth days for the moon to make one complete revolution around Earth. So if the speed of moon slows down by half of what it is now, then it would take twice as much time as it take now revolve around Earth
