The Earth's average speed relative to the Sun is 2.9 × 10⁴ meters per second.
This question is incomplete, the complete question is:
The planet Earth orbits the sun with a period of one year. In this problem, you may assume the radius of the Earth's orbit is 1.50 × 10⁸ km. Calculate the Earth's average speed relative to the Sun in meters per second?
Given the data in question;
- Radius
Period ( or time the Earth orbits the sun ) = 1 year
- Time
We calculate the circumference of the Earth
Circumference
We substitute in the value of r
Circumference
Circumference
Next, we calculate the Average Speed
We know that; Speed or Velocity = Distance / Time
Also, Circumference is the same as distance in this case,
Hence, Speed or Velocity = circumference / Time
We substitute in our values
Therefore, the Earth's average speed relative to the Sun is 2.9 × 10⁴ meters per second.
