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 radius of the earth is a little less than 4000 miles. Using that number, how much faster is the surface moving from west to east at the equator than it would be moving if the earth were not rotating (in mph)? Consider, as in class, that air moving with the surface at the equator is warmed by the sun, rises and starts to move north. If it continues to move from west to east at the same speed that...

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...
