What will be the effect on the duration of the day if the radius of Earth decreases suddenly?
If the volume of earth suddenly shrinks to 1/64th of its original volume then the radius of the earth will decrease to 1/4th of its original radius. So, duration of the day will be 1.5 hrs.
What if the radius of Earth is halved?
Hence, the correct answer is that If the radius of the earth is reduced to half of its present value, with no change in the mass, the acceleration due to gravity will become Four times to that of the original value which is option B.
What will be the effect on the duration of a day on Earth if the earth suddenly contracts?
So, for an Earth that is contracted to half its present size with mass constant, the duration of a day will be just 6hrs.
What would be the duration of the year if the distance between the Earth and the sun gets halved?
There will be 129 days in an year.
When you move from equator to pole What is the acceleration due to gravity?
Since the distance at the poles is smaller than that of the equator hence we can say that person has more acceleration due to gravity on the poles than the equator. The value of acceleration due to gravity increases as we move from equator to pole.
What would be the duration of the year if the distance between the Earth and the sun would have been four times the present value?
What would happen if our orbit was 1/4 of its radius?
However I would add this: if our orbit was only 1/4 of its current radius, our beautiful Earth would be a burned out cinder , and we wouldn’t be there to do Kepler‘s math! I will assume you mean 1/4 (.25\%) of the distance from the sun? 23,250,000 miles (39, 410, 000 KM).
How long would it take a person to travel around the Earth?
See the figure for a better understanding. For a person of height 1.7m, t turns out to be around 9.5 seconds. The actual radius of the earth is 6400 km. So our estimate isn’t off by much.
How far away is the Earth from the Sun?
The Earth orbits the Sun in an Elliptical orbit. That means that sometimes the Earth is closer to the Sun than other times. In January the Earth is closest to the Sun, it’s about 147 million kilometers away. In July it is at a distance of 152 million kilometers, which is a difference of five million kilometers. That difference only affec
What would be the duration of a year on Mercury?
So the duration of a year would be 1/8 of what it currently is. P for Mercury = sqrt ( (0.39)^3) = 0.2436 Earth years = 88.96 days, which agrees pretty closely with the value of 87.97 days from NASA and Wikipedia.
