Why does the earth bulge at the equator?

Physics
1 answer:
sattari [20]3 years ago
4 0

centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.

In any problems involving circular motion, which way does the tangential speed vector point?
Anton [14]

In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point. 

The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle.  The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle.  If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.

According to perception of movement, in order to sense movement, humans need to see an object _____.
lesya692 [45]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- a. change its position relative to other objects.

Perception of motion can be described as a phenomenon of inferring the  direction and speed and of objects, which are moving in a visual scene.

An object is said to be in motion if its position is changed with respect to objects that are present in its surrounding.

Thus, in order to sense motion of objects, humans beings are required to see an object change its position with respect to other objects.
