The equatorial radius of the earth is
r = 6378 km = 6378 x 10³ m

The earth makes 1 revolution in 24 hours.
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(24*3600 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The tangential velocity (linear velocity) at a point on the equator is
v = rω
   = (6378 x 10³ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
   = 463.8 m/s

Answer: 463.8 m/s

Answer:

HOPE IT HELPS.....

Explanation:

The legal standard for drunkenness across the United States ranges from 0.10 to 0.08. If a person's BAC measures 0.08, it means that there are 0.08 grams (i.e., 80 mg) of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. The American Medical Association says that a person can become impaired when the blood alcohol level hits 0.05.
