At the equator earth rotates with a velocity of about 465 m/s.? what is the velocity in kilometers per hour? and what is the velocity in kilometers per day? show complete worked problem

1670 km/h; 40 200 km/day

a)Velocity in kilometers per hour

The conversion factors are 1 km/1000 m, 60 s/1 min, and 60 min/1 h.

We can string these together to get

Velocity = (465 m/1 s) x (1 km/1000 m) x (60s/1min) x (60 min/1 h)

= 1674 km/h = 1670 km/h (three significant figures)

b)Velocity in kilometers per day

The conversion factor is 24 h/1 day.

Velocity = (1674 km/1 h) x (24 h/1 day) = 40 200 km/day

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
