Answer the following questions about our planet, Earth: What is the actual rotational speed of the earth? Don't look it up, calculate it using common sense. What is our linear speed at the equator? Assume the radius of the earth is 6400 km. Does this angular speed account for any additional downward acceleration other than gravity? If yes, why don't we feel it and if no, why? What angular speed would the earth have to rotate in order for objects at the equator to have no weight?

Explanation / Answer

1-the speed is 1670 kilometers/hour ( 1070 miles/hr).

2-1037.561358722 miles per hour
