Find the angular speed of the Earth as it spins about its axis. Give your result in rad/s.
Added by Jose Manuel A.
Step 1
Given that the Earth takes 24 hours to complete one full rotation, we need to convert this to seconds. 24 hours * 3600 seconds/hour = 86,400 seconds Show more…

Determine the angular speed, in rad/s , of Earth about its axis.
Vishal G.
Find the angular velocity, in $\mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s},$ of $(\mathrm{a})$ the earth due to its daily spin on its axis, (b) the earth due to its yearly motion around the sun, and (c) our moon due to its monthly motion around the earth. Consult Appendix E as needed.
(II) Calculate the angular velocity of the Earth $(a)$ in its orbit around the Sun, and $(b)$ about its axis.
