What would happen if the Earth stopped rotating?
The speed of an object on earth’s surface near equator is approximately is 1670 kilometers/hour. So, if the earth stops rotating suddenly, the objects on the surface of earth which are unbound will be thrown eastwards tangentially with the speed of rotation of earth.

Variation of acceleration due to gravity with depth. A doubt.
Rajkumar asks: “accelaration due to gravity decrease on depth of earth with the relation of g’=g(1-2h/R). but with relation of g=GM/(R*R) g increase. Answer: When the object is on the surface or above it, the entire mass of the earth attracts it. But when it is inside, the net attraction towards CENTRE is provided only by the mass of [...]

Coulombian force and conductor
what’s effect of coulombic forces on conductor medium ? amk niazi Ans: In a conductor, the coulombian repulsive forces pushes the valence electrons and the electrons move away from the center to the surface ie from the region of stronger force to the region of lesser force, creating a Faraday cage Incoming search terms:what’s effect of coulombic forces on conductor [...]
