No. Earth's rotation speed is affected by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and planets.

What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?

Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.


Satellite orbiting earth at constant speed is accelerating?

Yes, a satellite orbiting Earth at a constant speed is indeed accelerating. This acceleration is due to the continuous change in direction of the satellite's velocity as it moves along its circular orbit. While the speed remains constant, the change in direction signifies that there is a net force acting on the satellite, specifically the gravitational force exerted by Earth, which keeps it in orbit. This type of acceleration, where the speed is constant but the direction changes, is known as centripetal acceleration.


Is orbital speed of Jupiter greater than earth?

No, The orbital speed of the Earth is 30km/s whereas Jupiter is 13.07km/s


Is the apparent speed of the Sun on Earth 600 mph?

No. That's approximately the speed at which Earth rotates. The apparent speed of the Sun can't really be expressed in miles per hour, only in degrees per hour. It is approximately 15 degrees per hour.


How much slower is the Moon's rotation than Earth's?

The Moon rotates one full turn (sidereal) every 27.32 days, creating a lunar phase cycle of about 29.5 days. Its equatorial rotation speed is 4.627 m/sec. The Earth rotates once every 23.93 hours. Its equatorial speed is 465.1 m/sec. So you can say that Moon turns only 1/27th as fast as the Earth, or that its maximum rotational surface speed is only 1/100th that of Earth's.

With which constant velocity the disk rotates at a constant speed?

The disk rotates at a constant speed when the angular velocity remains constant. This means the disk rotates at a constant angular velocity, maintaining a consistent rate of rotation without speeding up or slowing down.


With constant velocity the disc rotates at a constant speed?

Angular


Why is each day the same duration of time?

Because Earth rotates at a constant speed, so each day is the same length.


Does the earth's plate move at the same speed as earth rotates on its axis?

Earth rotates at roughly 1,000 miles per hour. Earth's plates move at the astonishing speed of fingernail growth.


Why don't we feel the Earth spinning?

We don't feel the Earth spinning because it rotates at a constant speed, and our bodies are moving along with it. This movement is smooth and consistent, so we don't perceive it as spinning.


With what kind of constant velocity the disc rotates at a constant speed?

"Some later CD drives use CLV technology in combination with constant angular velocity (CAV). With CAV, the disc rotates at a constant speed, just as is done with hard drives."(pg 459, A+ Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC)


Which planet rotates at the same speed as earth?

Mars has a similar rotation speed as the Earth - 24 hours and 38 minutes.


What happens when force is balance?

The body observing the force is either in stationary position or rotates with constant speed.


When ball is thrown upward then applied force is constant why not speed of ball is constant?

because there if speed is constant than ball never come back to earth hence speed of ball is not constant


What do the earth rotates on what?

Earth rotates on its axis.


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 does he Earth do when it rotates?

It rotates.
