Question

If a body is dropped from the same height once in the equator and then in polar region in which place will it fall faster? why​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

equator.

because the "belly" of the Earth around the equator makes the Earth there thicker than from pole to pole.

the reason is the spinning of our planet. as the spinning speed is the fastest at the thickest part of a ball (at the equator), that ball has the tendency due to the centrifugal force to extend even further there, and the extra material for that is being pulled in from the poles.

therefore, the diameter through the Earth from equator to equator is larger than the diameter from pole to pole.

and that means that there is more mass from equator to equator than from pole to pole.

and that means that gravity is stronger at the equator.

therefore, a body will fall faster at the equator than on a pole.
