The period of rotation of mercury in hours is 1407.6 hr. given that mereury has a radius of 2.4 x 10^6 m at its equator, what is the linear velocity (in m/s) at venus's surface? (enter the magnitude of the linear velocity at the equator.)

v=2.9578 m/s

Explanation:

t= 1407.6 hr

t = 3600 * 1407.6 = 5067360 s

w = 2π/T

    =2π/5067360

w = 1.24 x 10^-6 rad/s

v = r*w

v = 2.9758 m/s

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
