The linear speed of the ladybug is 4.1 m/s
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find the angular speed of the lady bug. This is given by:
where
T is the period of revolution
The period of revolution is the time taken by the ladybug to complete one revolution: in this case, since it does 1 revolution every second, the period is 1 second:
T = 1 s
Therefore, the angular speed is
Now we can find the linear speed of the ladybug, which is given by
where:
is the angular speed
r = 65.0 cm = 0.65 m is the distance of the ladybug from the axis of rotation
Substituting, we find

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by
where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.
The Earth's radius is , so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:
And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:
