At the North Pole or South Pole but ur body itself doesn’t not change it is the force of gravity that changes as u approach the pole

Answer:

Explanation:

Your body weighs more at the pole for two important reasons. Both have to do to the spin of the earth on its axis.

Because of its spin the earth is thicker around the equator than it is through the poles. This means that when you stand on the equator, you are farther away from the center of earth than you would be at the poles. As gravity decreases with the inverse of the square of distance, gravity will be weaker at the equator.

As you are also spinning with the earth, you will have a required centripetal acceleration and force to keep you attached to the ground, This force decreases the effect of gravity so again, you would weigh less at the equator.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}

x =\sqrt{33.5263}

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.
