Answer:

Sample Response: Tangential speed is dependent on an object's distance from the center of the circle. The farther away from the center an object is, the faster the object has to travel. Therefore, people living at a latitude of 0 degrees experience the greatest tangential speed

There's actually only one latitude implied by anything attached the question . . . Zero, since there are no choices listed.

That's brilliant ! Because zero latitude (the equator) IS the place on Earth where tangential speed is greatest.

Very clever !
