What will be the rotational speed of the Earth when gravity would be
only 5.0m/s2
only 5.0m/s2
cesiumfrog said:Odd question. Use of an arbitrary number implies homework. Maybe the OP misparaphrased something like "how much would the Earth's spin need increase, in order to halve effective gravity at the equator"?
Earth's rotational speed is not directly affected by its gravity. However, if its gravity were to change, it could affect the distribution of mass on the planet and potentially alter the rotational speed.
Earth's rotational speed is not dependent on its gravity. The planet's rotation is influenced by factors such as its size and composition, rather than the strength of its gravity.
The rotational speed of a planet is not directly related to its gravity. Therefore, Earth's rotational speed may be different from other planets with the same gravity, depending on their sizes, compositions, and other factors.
Earth's rotational speed can be measured using various methods, such as observing the movement of celestial bodies or using specialized equipment. A gravity of 5.0m/s2 would not affect the ability to measure Earth's rotational speed.
The rotational speed of a planet can influence its day length, but it is not solely determined by gravity. Other factors such as the planet's tilt and the distance from the sun also play a role in determining the length of a day on Earth.
