At the equator the earth spins at 0.0005 Meters per second. Here's a bit more data -- you can do the math. ;-)
•How fast is the Earth spinning? 0.5 km/sec•How fast is the Earth revolving around the Sun? 30 km/sec •How fast is the Solar System moving around the Milky Way Galaxy? 250 km/sec •How fast is our Milky Way Galaxy moving in the Local Group of galaxies? 300 km/sec
The answer is incorrect. If you do the math, then the velocity would be 500m/sec.
.0005m/s equates to .0000005km/s.

An arrow in flight has an initial velocity of 65 meters per second and 10 seconds later it has a velocity of 35 meters per second Which is the acceleration of the arrow?
Acceleration of the arrow is -3m/s2A = (velocity minus initial velocity) / time
What is the centripetal acceleration of an object being swung on a string with a radius of 5 meters at a velocity of 4 meters a second?
Use the formula a = v2 / r, with v = velocity (speed, actually) in meters/second, r = radius in meters. The answer will be in meters per square second.
You throw a ball straight up with a velocity of 40 meters per second What is the ball's velocity after 5 seconds?
it is 10 meters per second straight down
What is the velocity of earth in meters per second?
Earth's velocity through space is 297,800 m/s
A Kangaroo hops 60 m to the east in 5 seconds What is the kangaroo's velocity?
It's 60 divided by 5, Which is 12m/s east. Velocity is a vector for speed, since velocity has a direction and speed does not. Velocity has the SI units of meters per second. So you take the meters and divide by how many seconds to get your velocity.
What is the circumferential distance for the earths one degree rotation?
i think its 250 meters.. Thanks Regards Himankush
Why would a man weigh more at the poles than at the equator?
There are two reasons, both related to the Earth's rotation. At the equator, the Earth and the objects on it are at their maximum rotational velocity (about 465 meters per second). This causes the surface of the Earth at the equator to bulge farther from the center of mass, by an average of about 3.5 kilometers.So the effect of gravity is higher at the North Pole than the equator because of:1) the rotational velocity acting to reduce the downward acceleration2) the greater average distance from the Earth's center at the equator, since gravity decreases with distance from the center of mass.The difference, however, is only 0.05%, or 1/200 of the weight.
How fast earth rotates on its axis in one second?
The Earth rotates at a rate of slightly over 15 arc-seconds per second.The actual speed of rotation depends on latitude. It's greatest at the equator. At the equator, the Earth's rotation speed is about 465 meters per second.
What is the velocity when falling 1000 meters?
Ther velocity when falling 1000 meters is v=sqroot(2x1000x9.8) = 140 meters/second.
What is acceleration and its si unit?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes. Therefore, its units are naturally (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - how fast a velocity changes.

Hoe to calculate velocity of a rotating member?
rotation is normally rpm (revolutions per minute) , velocity of a particular point around an axis, example : distance from axis = 1 m , rpm = 10 000 circumference of 1m circle = 1m*2*pi (3.14159) = 6.28318 (meters) * 10 000 rpm = 62 831.8 meters/min = 1 047.197 meters / sec
What is the velocity of light in meters?
the velocity of light is 300000000 m/s
What is angular speed and angular velocity?
That is analogous to linear speed and velocity, but for rotation. Whereas a linear speed (or velocity) is expressed in meters per second (or some other units of distance / time), the angular speed or velocity is expressed in radians / second (or some other units of angle / time). Of course, when something rotates, there is also a linear speed, but different parts of an object rotate at different linear speeds, whereas the angular speed is the same for all parts of a rotating object - at least, in the case of a solid object. For example: the Earth rotates at an angular speed of 1 full rotation / day. The linear speed at the equator is approximately 1667 km/hour; close to the poles, the linear speed is much less.
What is the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface?
9.81 m/s2 gravity is dependant on the total mass of the two bodies, and the distance between their mass centers, and irrespective of any motion or rotation on earth, their would be a very small acceleration due to rotation about the earths axis (0 at the poles , maximum at the equator) , but this is a totally seperate issue
Why the time twice in unit acceleration?
An acceleration is not a velocity - it is the rate of change of velocity. In SI units, the units of velocity are meters/second. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, per unit time - how fast the velocity changes. Therefore, its units are velocity / time. In SI units, this gives you (meters/second) / second, usually written as meters/second2.
What is the length of the earth's equator in meters?
