A body with 1kg inertial mass experiences, from our perspective, centrifugal force due to rotation of the Earth. At the equator, this could be as great as 33 grams. If the body had gravitational mass m_g smaller than that, it would fly away upwards. If m_g was small enough, the body would escape Earth's gravity.
