What is the linear speed of earth's rotation at latitude 60 point 24 degrees north?

I get 517.33 miles per hour.
I used 3,970 miles for the Earth's radius, and 23hours 56minutes
for the period of one complete rotation.

The linear speed of the Earth's rotation at any latitude can be calculated by multiplying the cosine of the latitude by the equatorial rotational speed of the Earth, which is approximately 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour). At latitude 60.24 degrees north, the linear speed of the Earth's rotation would be approximately 835 kilometers per hour (519 miles per hour).

What does 1 degrees of latitude equal?
Only at the equator. The linear distance covered by 1 degree of longitude gets progressively smaller as you progress towards the poles, but 1 degree of latitude remains constant.
What is the total number of degrees of longitude east or west of the Prime meridian?
That is an angular measurement of ten degrees. The linear distance would depend on your latitude.
In a linear molecule such as a carbon dioxide what is the characteristic angle between atoms?
Linear molecules all have 180 degrees between atoms
What is the speed of planet earth rotation around itself?
In terms of angular velocity, because it takes roughly 86,400 seconds per 1 Earth revolution, it is:2 * pi / 86400 = 7.269 * 10-5 rad/sLinear velocity of a point on Earth's surface due to rotation depends on latitude. On equator it is about 1,674.4 km/h and obviously 0 km/h on either pole.
What is the relationship between lines of longitude and latitude?
they are both imaginary lines that run round the earth, to show where a point is on the earths surface. the unit to show these are degrees. latitude are lines running across the earth and longitude are lines running down the earth. an easy way to remember this- lAtitude goes Across(they both have letter a) lOngitude does dOwn"(they both have o)
How many degrees per second per second equal 1 G?
G is a measure of linear acceleration. For rotational motion it is necessary to multiply the degrees by the distance from the centre of rotation (radius of rotation).
Is earth rotation slowing rate linear or logarithmic?
i believe it is linear
What does 1 degrees of latitude equal?
Only at the equator. The linear distance covered by 1 degree of longitude gets progressively smaller as you progress towards the poles, but 1 degree of latitude remains constant.
How do you find the linear velocity with respect to the Earth's axis of rotation of an object on Earth at 35 degrees latitude?
"Quick and dirty":Earth radius = 4,000 milesCircumference = 2 pi R = (8,000 pi) milesRotation period = 24 hoursSpeed of a point on the equator = circumference/period = 8,000 pi miles/24 hours-- That's the speed on the equator = zero latitude.-- The north pole is 90 degrees latitude, and the rotation speed there is zero.-- A quantity that's full-size at zero degrees and zero at 90 degrees is varyingin proportion to the cosine of the latitude.Speed at 35 degrees latitude = ( 8,000 pi/24 ) x cos(35) = 858 miles per hour.Note:Don't get into an argument with anybody who comes along and says no, that'snot correct, it's actually 865, or 832, or 857.294 etc. Every number in my solutionis rounded, except for the zero degrees and 90 degrees. So the answer I gotis correct to an 'order of magnitude' and maybe a couple of significant figures.It gives you 'feeling' for the actual speed of a point on the 35th parallel, but Iwould not enter it in a contest where points are awarded for precision.
What is the bond angle in a linear molecule?
The bond angle in the linear molecule is 180 degrees.
How many degrees equal 1 inch?
The question cannot be answered simply. A degree is a measure of angular displacement whereas an inch is a measure of linear displacement. If the angular displacement (in degrees) were measured at a distance r inches from some fixed point (the centre of rotation), then the linear displacement would be pi*r/180 inches.
What is the formula for rotation in math?
In 2-dimensions, the formula for rotation through d degrees is [post-]multiplication by the matrix [cos(d) sin(d)] [-sin(d) cos(d)]
What is the total number of degrees of longitude east or west of the Prime meridian?
That is an angular measurement of ten degrees. The linear distance would depend on your latitude.
What is linear symetry?
the no. of times the figure fits into itself is called order of rotation.
Which imaginary line circles the earth at 23.5o S latitude?
The lines on a globe which run north and south are called meridians, or lines of longitude. They run from the North Pole to the South Pole, and only in pairs do they "circle" the Earth.They are used to calculate distance between points on the Earth's surface in an east-west direction. Beginning at the arbitrarily-defined Prime Meridian (0° longitude), they are measured in degrees east or west of that line, which is an angular measurement that can be translated into rough linear distance.Used in conjunction with the lines of latitude (measuring distance north or south of the equator), they can define any point on the surface of the Earth.
What is the coefficient of linear expansion of mercury?
-39 degrees celsius to 450 degrees celsius
Does a linear have a bond angle of 120?
No, the bond angle for linear structure is 180 degrees.
