Answer: 7,853,982

Step-by-step explanation:

All it's asking you is:

-- here's the radius of a circle

-- here's how long it takes to go around the circle

-- how fast are you traveling around the circle ?

I hope that's less scary.

_____________________________

Circumference of a circle =

(pi) x (diameter)

= (pi) x (2 x radius)

= (5 pi) x 10¹² meters .

Time to go around the circle = 2 x 10⁶ seconds

Speed = (distance) / (time)

= (5 pi x 10¹² m) / (2 x 10⁶ sec)

= 2.5 pi x 10⁶ m/s

= 7,853,982
