Where the gravitational force is greater in equator poles or Mt. Everest?
poles
Is the maximum value g at equator?
it is maximum at the poles
Where is the greatest gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull of any celestial body, is the maximum on its poles.
Is the force and gravitational force poles and equator is same or different?
its is different ok :)
How the gravitational acceleration will change when you move from equator to north or south pole on the surface of earth?
It will increase very slightly at the poles compared to the equator, because the Earth's radius at the poles is slightly less than it is at the equator.
What is the maximum degree of latitude you can be away from earths equator?
90 ... at the north and south poles.
Where is the strengh of gravitational forcen in the poles or equator?
If the Earth were a (homogeneous) sphere, the gravitational force on its surface would be the same everywhere. I think that the gravitational force is slightly larger at the equator (center bulging Earth). But you might not measure it because of the rotation of the Earth.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Considering the factors that affect gravitational pull in which location would the gravitational pull from the earth be SMALLEST on you?
Gravity increases from 9.789 m·s−2 at the equator to 9.832 m·s−2 at the poles. This is because of the equatorial bulge and the difference in centrifugal forces. Answer: Equator
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 is the temprature on the planet mercury?
On average it is between 200oK (at the poles) and 340oK at the equator, getting to a maximum of 700oK with the Sun at the zenith.
Is the gravitational acceleration at the equator different from the one at the north pole?
Without going into masses of math equations, it is slightly less at the poles by the amount of 0.04%
