Earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours. (a) What is the angular velocity of Earth? (b) Given that Earth has a radius of 6.4 x 106 m at its equator, what would be the tangential velocity of someone standing at the equator as measured by a “stationary” observer?
Given is:-
Time taken by earth to rotate once = 24 hours
Radius of the Earth 
Now,
Part - a
Angular velocity is given by

by plugging all the values we get

which gives us

Part - b
Tangential velocity is given by

plugging the values

which gives us

The earth rotates once per day about an axis passing through the north and south poles, an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the equator. Assuming the earth is a sphere with a radius of 6.38 x 106 m, determine the speed and centripetal acceleration of a person situated (a) at the equator and (b) at a latitude of 57.0 ° north of the equator.

The earth (of radius of 6371km) rotates on itself at a rate of one revolution every 24 hours and is titled by an angle of 23.5°. Let's assume that the earth is a perfect sphere, which allows us to consider a uniform circular motion 23.5 R equator Figure 1: Earth rotation Everybody on earth share the same time of rotation, but based on their location on the earth, they wil have different velocities. A person located in Hawaii, at an...
Mars rotates on its axis once every 1.02 days (almost the same as Earth does). (a) Find the distance from Mars at which a satellite would remain in one spot over the Martian surface. (Use 6.42 1023 kg for the mass of Mars.) (b) Find the speed of the satellite. m/s
