Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

On what part of the earths surface does weathering happen at a faster rate?

yes


If you shoot a gun outside a window of a car with the gun facing forward will the bullet slow down or speed up?

Relative to the car, the bullet will act as if the gun is shot from a stationary position. Relative to the ground, it will go faster through the air.


Why do fluids travel faster near the center of pipes and tubes than at the edges?

Fluids travel faster near the center of pipes and tubes due to lower frictional resistance against the smooth center surface compared to the rougher edges. This phenomenon is known as the no-slip condition, where the fluid velocity at the pipe wall is zero and increases towards the center. The velocity profile is parabolic in laminar flow, with the highest velocity at the center.


Would there be winds if earths surface was the same temperature everywhere?

No, there would not be winds if the earth's surface was the same temperature everywhere. The reason why is because during the day the land heats up faster than the water.


Is it faster to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?

its faster to enter Earths atmosphere because our gravitational pull pulls anything in , and this is why rockets have to have a lot of power to go out of the atmosphere because the gravitational pull keeps us on its surface.


How many miles per hour does the sun travel?

There really isn't a way to know without first picking a reference point. For example, the speed of a runner or a car is relative to the speed of the Earth's surface. The speed of the Sun relative to our local standard of rest (determined by stars in our 'neighborhood') is only about 43,000 miles per hour, however relative to the rest of our galaxy the speed of the sun is in the neighborhood of 483,000 miles per hour. If galactic motion in the Universe is considered then the speed would be astronomical, potentially faster than the speed of light since space-time is still expanding (another example of the relativity of speed: even though we are going faster than light relative to the universe, relative to our particular region of space-time we are stationary)


Does a larger or smaller solid surface dissolve faster?

A smaller solid surface dissolves faster than a larger one because it has a greater surface area relative to its volume. This increased surface area allows more solvent molecules to interact with the solid, facilitating a quicker dissolution process. In contrast, a larger solid has less surface area exposed to the solvent, slowing down the dissolution rate.


Why do you age slower the faster you travel?

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time actually slows down the faster an object moves. This is known as time dilation. So, if you were travelling close to the speed of light, time would pass more slowly for you relative to someone who is stationary, causing you to age slower.


Does water cool more quickly than land?

Land cools faster because land is floating on the earths surface. Water gets deeper, so the suns heat cant heat the bottom of the ocean as well as the surface


Can water evaporate faster if there is more water?

Yes if more water means a bigger surface area, and the surrounding atmosphere is not saturated with water vapor (relative humidity < 100%).
