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.

A fish tank is a cube of size L × L × L, where L = 1 m, filled with water. Find
Murljashka [212]

At the bottom of the tank :

P = ρgH

P = (1000 kg/m³)(10 m/s²)(1 m)

P = 10000 N/m²

F = P • A

F = (10000 N/m²)(1 m²)

F = 10000 N

At the side of the tank :

Pav = ½ρgH

Pav = ½(1000 kg/m³)(10 m/s²)(1 m)

Pav = 5000 N/m²

F = P • A

F = (5000 N/m²)(1 m²)

F = 5000 N

On another planet gravity has a value of 5.5 m/s . If an object is dropped how long will it take to fall 53 m?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4.4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

a = -5.5 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

y₀ = 53 m

y = 0 m

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 53 + 0 + ½ (-5.5) t²

0 = 53 − 2.75 t²

t = 4.39

Rounded to two significant figures, it takes 4.4 seconds for the object to land.
