Question

The equatorial radius of Jupiter is about 43,440.5 miles and its rotational period is 9.93 hours (it rotates on its axis once every 9.93 hours). Supposed one could stand on Jupiter at its equator, this person would move with Jupiter's rotation at a speed of__________ miles/hour. Use 3.14 for pi and the answer must be whole number.

Answer 1

• Radius=43,440.5

Circumference:=2πr=43,440.5(2)(3.14)=272,803.2miles.

• Speed of person standing on it would be

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (272,803.2)/(9.93)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 27,472.6mph`
