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? \

10609.17miles per hr is the linear velocity

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

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
