Answer:

Explanation:

a )

one rotation per 24 hours

Time period of rotation of the earth T = time / no of rotation

T = 24 x 60 x 60 s / 1

= 86400 s .

b )

angular velocity = angle of rotation in radian / time

in one rotation , angle made at the centre = 2π radian

= 2 x 3.14 radian

angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 / 86400 radian / s

= 72.68 x 10⁻⁶ radian / s

c )

Relation between linear and angular velocity is as follows

v = ω x R where R is radius of the earth and v is linear velocity .

linear velocity = 72.68 x 10⁻⁶ x 6.4 x 10⁶ m /s

= 465.152 m /s
