Open Question: 10 Points! Physics, Earths Rotation?
Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for on November 20, 2008 , No comment
The earth has a radius R = 6370000 m and rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. Point A sits on the equator while point B sits at a latitude of q = 30 degrees and point C is at the North Pole (latitude of q = 90 degrees).
During a 9 hour period, how much farther does point A travel as compared to point B?
Delta X = ? meters
So i figured out:
A(cent) = 3.35 cm/s^2
B(cent) = 2.91 cm/s^2
Thanks, this problem has been driving me nuts
