Answer:

a) V = 465.9 m/s

b) θ = 70.529°

Explanation:

Let's first calculate angular velocity of earth:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{23.9h}*1h/3600s

Velocity of a person on Ecuador will be:

V_E = \omega*R

V_E = 465.9 m/s

For part b, since angular velocity is the same:

\frac{\omega*R}{3}=\omega*(R*cos\theta )

Solving for θ:

\theta=acos(1/3)

\theta=70.529\°

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems
PIT_PIT [208]
I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.
