How does gravity correspond to the bending of the space-time fabric
1 answer:
The bigger the mass of an astronomical object the bigger the depression it causes in the space-time fabric. Any other astronomical object that gets closer to this depression begins to fall into the depression and hence accelerates closer to the astronomical object causing the depression. This is how gravity is felt.

Answer:
acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²
Explanation:
given data
latitude = 40 degree
to find out
Calculate the acceleration of a person
solution
we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad
so
acceleration of person = g - ω²R ...............1
and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree
here g is 9.81
so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 ×
m
so
put here value in equation 1 we get
acceleration of person = g - ω²R
acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × )² × 6.37 ×
acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²
