Question

This is a scientific notation problem, not a math problem. Anyone with the necessary math credentials to be in this class should be able to do Rate x Time = Distance problems in his or her sleep. (And you should also be able to some quick internet research to find some numbers; and you should know the equation for the circumference of a circle, or find it in your book, or on the internet easily) For this problem, it is okay to assume the earth's orbit around the sun is circular with a radius equal to the average distance of the earth from the sun (in case you were considering finding the apogee and perigee and using the far more complicated circumference of an ellipse equation}. Express all inputs and answers in scientific notation with appropriate significant figures. What is the average speed of the earth with respect to the sun? In miles per year? In miles per hour? In kilometers per second? In mm per second? In mm per minute? In mm per hour? In mm per decade? In researching r (for distance = 2pir)you may see numbers for the speed in various units. Certainly you can use those to verify your calculations, but, you need to calculate the speed in units of your choosing once from formulas, and then convert to the others.

Explanation / Answer

average distance of sun and earth=149,597,890 km=92955818.94miles circumference=939951264.43 km=584058635.73 miles= answer goes th.is way ......1) 584058635.73 miles per year ......2) 66673.36 miles per hour ......3)29.8056 km per sec ......4)29805659.07 mm per sec .......5)1788339544.2 mm per min ........6) 107300372651.83 mm per hour ........7)93995126.443 *10^(-6) mm per decade
