Where the gravitational force is greater in equator poles or Mt. Everest?
poles
Is the maximum value g at equator?
Yes, the maximum value of acceleration due to gravity (g) is at the equator because the centrifugal force due to the Earth's rotation reduces the effective gravitational force. This results in a maximum g value at the equator compared to other latitudes.
How the gravitational acceleration will change when you move from equator to north or south pole on the surface of earth?
The gravitational acceleration will decrease slightly as you move from the equator to the poles due to the Earth's shape (oblate spheroid). This is because the centrifugal force is greater at the equator compared to the poles, which causes a slight decrease in the net gravitational force experienced at the equator.
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 :)
Why does the weight of an object change when it is moved from the equator to the poles?
The weight of an object changes when it is moved from the equator to the poles due to the variation in gravitational force caused by the Earth's rotation. The force of gravity is slightly stronger at the poles compared to the equator, leading to a small change in weight.
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.
Which best explains why the weight of an object is less at the equator than at the poles?
The equator is farther from the Earth's axis of rotation, leading to a weaker gravitational pull due to the centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation. This decrease in gravitational force at the equator results in a slightly lower weight for objects compared to the poles.
Where on earth's surface is your weight the maximum?
Your weight is maximum at the poles due to the centrifugal force being the lowest there and the gravitational force being strongest.
Why is gravity stronger at the poles than the equator?
Gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator because of the Earth's shape. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its rotation. This bulging at the equator causes objects to be farther away from the center of the Earth, resulting in weaker gravitational pull compared to the poles.
What is the value of g when Equator moves towards pole?
The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) decreases as you move from the Equator towards the poles due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation. At the Equator, this force counteracts some of the gravitational force, resulting in a lower g value compared to the poles.
