If the spinning of earth stops, what would be the effects, does gravitational pull would also stop?

Question

I want to know, if the spinning of earth stops what can be the major after effect especially effects on gravitational pulls or gravity?

Answer 1

Gravational pull is not related to centrifugal force; thus, an object does not have to be spinning to have gravity, merely mass.

If the Earth stopped spinning suddenly, everyone and everything would fly forward in the direction of the spin at a speed determined on your latitude.

If you're standing at the north pole, the speed is almost zero but at the equator, where the circumference of the earth is greatest, the speed is about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph). The mid-latitudes of the U.S. and Europe speed along at 700 to 900 mph (1125 to 1450 kph).

Answer 2

Gravity has nothing to do with the spinning of the Earth, so it would not change. Everything on the surface of the earth would, according to Newton's law of motion, try to keep moving in the same direction as it was moving with the surface of the spinning Earth.

We're actually moving pretty quickly just sitting here--a point at the equator travels about 24,000 miles in 24 hours, or 1000 miles an hour. So, if you stopped the earth, everything on the surface at the equator would continue traveling at 1000 miles an hour. Things in other places go somewhat slower (since the distance around the globe at other latitudes is less), but are still moving at a good clip.

Answer 3

Gravity is a property of matter, so it doesn't stop. Unfotunately in this case, inertia is also a property of matter. So if the Earth stops, that is the rock that makes the crust and below, everything else keeps moving. You, me, the trees the air, the bird, the buildings, the water, everything else would keep moving and fly tangentially (a straight line from the surface of the Earth) off into space.

Answer 4

no.

is this a serious question?
if so,
Gravitational force, approximated by Newton's theory of universal gravitation is

F = Gm1m1/(r^2)

as long as the mass of the earth doesn't change, there will still be gravity

Answer 5

Magnetic compasses would stop working. One half of the earth would freeze and the other half would cook. There would be drastic changes in the weather. All satellites would no longer work since they would not be stationary relative to the earth.

Answer 6

Life on planet Earth would drastically change, not for the better. If you want to know more, look at the two links below.

Answer 7

would certainly not! the spinning of earth has noting at all with the gravity!

Answer 8

there would still be gravity though the climate: wind and ocean patterns would stop and cause chaos for our environment....


gravity is result of the Earths mass not its rotation

Answer 9

major effect...life as we know it would cease to exist

Answer 10

yes
