Alexgman1:then talk sense. Let's hear you |
Re: If The Earth Should Rotate 30times Faster What Will Happen? by kevoh(m): 1:26pm On Jul 27, 2022 |
Alexgman1:An increase in the frequency of earthquakes leading to tsunamis around the world, massive flooding everywhere (cities below sea level will be submerged), the possibility of people floating aimlessly due to sudden loss of weight and loss of gravity, etc. Where are you going to see your salary to collect, when disasters are ravaging the world like every day? Besides, to the best of my knowledge, the earth's speed is slowing down. It will need an external force to hit it to set its speed 30x faster. The impact of that external force alone would kill humans. People would be dead already to even worry about earthquakes, tsunamis and salaries! |

The earth is slowing down than how it use to be before now and thing are falling into places too |

kevoh:this may not happen |

Bonesbreaker:What exactly may not happen? The repercussion of moving at 30x speed or being hit by an external force? |
Re: If The Earth Should Rotate 30times Faster What Will Happen? by deen84(m): 1:53pm On Jul 27, 2022 |
Alexgman1:Yes for sure |
Re: If The Earth Should Rotate 30times Faster What Will Happen? by Nobody: 2:13pm On Jul 27, 2022 |
kevoh:the earth adjust to its new level and its habitants in it like an Eco revolution way,example we once had high breed Animals now we don't have them anymore the earth rotation will re-adjust its habitant in it |

Alexgman1: No you will not receive monthly salary daily because 30X faster rotation will not speed up time(in fact it will actually slow down time according to the special theory of relativity), what will happen though is that gravity will be more countered by centripetal acceleration thereby reducing the observed weight of everything on the earths surface. |
Re: If The Earth Should Rotate 30times Faster What Will Happen? by Alusiizizi(m): 2:44pm On Jul 27, 2022 |
Vilgax: You are correct in pointing out that centrifugal forces will reduce the earths gravity, although I'm not sure if it would be enough for everything to fly off the surface of the earth. Centrifugal acceleration = (Velocity)^2/(Earth radius). Earth Radius = 6,371 km(6,371,000m)( assuming we are at the equator) Centri... acceleration is then about 0.033m/s^2 With gravitational acceleration of 9.8m/s^2 multiplying the earths centripetal acceleration by 30 only gives close to 1m/s^2, not even close to the 9.8m/s^2 required for all unattached bodies on the terrestial surface to fly out into the nothingness of space. |

We will have surge in tides and flooding, earthquakes. We will experience shorter days and night, this will also affect our weather and climate, because they will be shorter. We will be weightless, because of low gravity, Assuming this spinning does not happen suddenly. |
Re: If The Earth Should Rotate 30times Faster What Will Happen? by Alusiizizi(m): 3:24pm On Jul 27, 2022 |
hayoholla: You are correct in all but your weightlessness assertion. The speed of the earth would have to increase by almost 300 times to achieve weightlessness and not a mere 30 times. |
Re: If The Earth Should Rotate 30times Faster What Will Happen? by Nobody: 3:40pm On Jul 27, 2022 |
First people will die self because the tsunami, earthquake would be more frequent as there will be surge in tides of the ocean Second there will be no gravity and you be weightless |

Alexgman1: Indeed I am. |

Re: If The Earth Should Rotate 30times Faster What Will Happen? by hayoholla(m): 7:17pm On Jul 27, 2022 |
kevoh: The earth is slowing down because of the effect of moons gravitational pull too. The moon is gradually moving away from us inch by inch. |

I'm flummoxed at those who say you wake up 3 years older. Your biological clock is different from time as measured by the gregorian calendar etc which utilize resolutions of the Earth on its axis and around the Sun to predict 'Time'. Basically, what happens in your body is not determined by what happens in the Universe. That's why even if the Earth begins to rotate anti-clockwisely on its axis, you would not get younger. |

I see some interesting postulations on earthquakes and the likes. But this will not be that dramatic. Maximun centrfugal forces occurs at the Equator. If you take a day 86400seconds. Earths angular velocity is currently = 2xPi/86400= 0.0000727rad/s Current centrfugal acceleration is =0.0000727^2 rad/s /6,371,000m=0.0336m/s^2 If you speed the earth up 30 times, the centrifugal acceleration will be multiplied 30 times and will be 1.01m/s^2 This will counter gravity, which will still be 9.81m/s^2 at the pole znd reduce to 9.81-1.01=8.8m/s^2 at the equator. 8.8m/s^2 is still a huge amount of gravity. I doubt the rock strengths of the tectonic plates will yield due to a force from 1.01 m/s acceleration. Magma outflow is not only resisted by gravity, by also by shear strength of the lithosphere. So Earthquakes will continue to occure mainly at the boundaries of the tectonic plates with relatively higher frequency, but nothing too dramatic. Dormant volcanoes are not likely to breakout too. What I think interesting though is that humans maybe slightly taller. But this is not supported by evidence, since tropical dwellers should have been taller than the rest of the earth. For a fact, humans abd animals will be able to jump slightly higher, if the body does not lean out its muscles in adaptation. Airplane tickets will cost slightly less. And slightly higher solar intensity due to nearer sun Seasons will not be affected, but winds will be much stronger. This may make for more movement of clouds and hence we may have less deserts. The only real negetive I see at are winds. But ships may never need engines again. |
