The radius of the Earth is 6370. km. (a) Calculate the linear speed at which a point on the Earth's surface at the Equator is moving because of the Earth's rotation. (b) Calculate the linear speed of a point on the Earth's surface in Houston (Latitude = 29.8 degrees North) due to the Earth's rotation and compare with the result at the Equator.
The Earth has two main angular velocities as it moves through space. One is due to its motion around the sun, the other is due to its rotation around its own axis. A. What is the angular speed of the Earth as it revolves around the sun? (answer in rad/s) B. The radius of the Earth's orbit around the sun is about 1.5×108 km. Based on your answer to Part A, what is the tangential speed of the Earth as...

(1 point) As a result of radioactive decay, heat is generated uniformly throughout the interior of the earth at a rate of around 30 watts per cubic kilometer. (A watt is a rate of heat production.) The heat then flows to the earth's surface where it is lost to space. Let F(z,y, z denote the rate of flow of heat measured in watts per square kilometer. By definition, the flux of F across a surface is the quantity of heat...

The semimajor axis of Mars orbit is about 1.52 astronomical units (au), where an au is the Earth's average distance from the Sun, meaning the semimajor axis of Earth's orbit is 1 au. To go from Earth to Mars and use the least energy from rocket fuel, the orbit has a semimajor axis of 1.26 au and an eccentricity of about 0.21. Starting at Earth's orbit, to follow this path we give the spacecraft an orbital velocity of 40 km/s. ...
Acceleration due to gravity on board of your spaceship that orbits Jupiter is 25.89 m/s. How high is your spaceship above Jupiter's cloud tops? Express your answer in kilometers and round it to the nearest integer. M Jupiter = 1.90 x 104 kg; R Jupiter = 69,911 km. Your cosmic journey brought you into the vicinity of a neutron star. In fact, you are orbiting this neutron star at an orbital distance of 22.424 kilometers. The neutron star has mass...
