If smthng remain suspnded in air without contact with earth,as earth is rotating will it move from that point?

Question

If something remain suspended in air without any contact with earth and as earth is rotating would it(that thing)move from the point which it was suspended after some times?

Answer 1

You are missing a point there!

The air is supposed to move along with the earth(due to gravity)

If the air is still (not possible in real life) then the object does not move from that point!

But in real life many factors like wind current, weight of the object, air resistance etc will tend to move the object from the spot of suspension due to coriolis effect.

Answer 2

Yes, this is a phyiscal principle known as the "coriolis effect". The earth moves underneath the object (a bullet, a plane, a base-ball) in varying degrees depending on time aloft, air density, etc.

The initial velocity of the object (for example, the speed of earth's rotation) caused the object to immediately "slow down" with respect to the earth's movement (relative to the person throwing a baseball into the air for example).

Answer 3

Yes, object would start to rotate around the Earth.

Answer 4

Yes, in fact when aircraft navigate they have to account for the earth's rotation over long distances.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

No, it wont move unless any other force effects it. Your question seam to state that this is not the situation so it wont move from its position (it will stay over the same spot on the earth where you left it "hanging").

Answer 7

Yes. Magnetism, winds, will affect that position because of its mass being much smaller than earth's

Answer 8

it will move with air currents

Answer 9

yes

have you considered foucault's pendulum?
