Question

The earth is about 93,000,000 miles from the sun and traverses its orbit, which is nearly circular, every 365.25 days. What is the linear velocity of the earth in its orbit, in miles per hour? \

Answer 1

10609.17miles per hr is the linear velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrive at Ans in miles per hr we first convert 365.25 days to hours

Which is 365.25 x24hrs per day= 8766hrs

So velocity= distance/time

So

93000000/8766= 10609.17miles per hr
