Question 1120424: Monica stepped outside and began to think how fast she is moving even when she is standing still.
Assume that the earth is a sphere with a radius of 3960 miles and Monica is at a latitude of 15degreesNorth.
What is Monica's speed due solely to the rotation of the earth?
What is Monica's speed due solely to the rotation of the earth? Assume for simplicity that the earth rotates around the sun in a circle of radius 93 million miles and that there are 365.25 days in a year.
Combining the two speeds from above, give the range of speeds Monica is moving while standing still.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Monica stepped outside and began to think how fast she is moving even when she is standing still.
Assume that the earth is a sphere with a radius of 3960 miles and Monica is at a latitude of 15degreesNorth.
What is Monica's speed due solely to the rotation of the earth?
Do you mean angular speed? It's ~ 15 degs/hour
==========
What is Monica's speed due solely to the rotation of the earth? Assume for simplicity that the earth rotates around the sun in a circle of radius 93 million miles and that there are 365.25 days in a year.
You have to spec "speed with respect to what"
The sun? Some other star?
==========
Combining the two speeds from above, give the range of speeds Monica is moving while standing still.
