A car A at north latitude L drives north on a north–south highway with constant speed v. The earth’s radius is RE, and the earth’s angular velocity is ωE. (The earth’s angular velocity vector points north.) The coordinate system is earth fixed, and the x axis passes through the car’s position at the instant shown. Determine the car’s velocity and acceleration (a) relative to the earth-fixed coordinate system and (b) relative to a nonrotating reference frame with its origin at the center of the earth.
