A body weighs more at poles and less at equator
Answers
Answer:
the weight of a body at the poles will be greater than at the equator.
Explanation:
The weight of a body depends on the force with which it is attracted towards the centre of the Earth. But this force is greater at the pole on account of less distance from the centre of the Earth. Due to this, the body weighs more at the poles than at the equator.
Answer:
Distance to the core.
Explanation:
It is the molten iron at the centre of the earth that attracts us with a force known as gravity. The force with which an object is attracted towards something is called by humans as weight. All objects with mass have gravity. The closer you are to the object, and the larger the object is, there will be more gravity.
The earth is not a perfect sphere; it bulges outward at the equator and is kinda flat at the poles. This is because of the earth's rotation. The rotation is faster at the equtor and slower at the poles, which causes he bulge at the equator, moving it away fromt the molten core. So the poles are closer to the core, meaning things at the poles have more weight than things at the equator. (Spending time on the beach reduces your weight! )
