The outer edge of Saturn's rings has the greatest rotational speed as it orbits the planet faster due to its larger circumference compared to the inner rings.

Which part of earth's surface has the greatest rotational speed about Earth's axis. Which part has the greatest linear speed relative to Earth's axis?

In the case of a solid rotating object, the rotational speed is the same for all parts. The linear speed is greatest at points that are furthest from the axis of rotation - in other words, at the equator.


Which is not part of the equation for angular momentum?

Rotational speed. Rotational speed is typically used to calculate rotational kinetic energy rather than angular momentum, which is determined by rotational inertia and angular velocity.


How does the tapered rim of the wheel on a railroad train allow one part of the rim to have a greater tangential speed than another part when it is rolling on a track?

Tangential speed, unlike rotational speed, depends on radial distance. At the very center of the rotating platform, you have no speed at all; you merely rotate. But, as you approach the edge of the platform, you find yourself moving faster and faster. Tangential speed is directly proportional to distance from the axis for any given rotational speed.

What is the definition for speed?

Speed is the term that defines the rate of which something (car , flight , running man , .... ) is displaced per a second. no of meters crossed per a second that is for linear speed , another type of speed is the rotational speed which measures the no of radian angles per second crossed by rotating part ... speed is a scalar measurement. velocity defines the rate of displacement (meters or angles) beside direction in which displacement is taken (vectorial measurement --> magnitude and direction).

What will happen to the speed of a cue ball if all of its momentum were transferred to other billiard balls when playing pool?

If no rotational momentum is present as well, only a tiny fraction of which can be transferred to another billiard ball, the cue ball will stop. If rotational momentum is present, which is a part of cue ball control, the cue ball will roll in a direction dependent upon angle of contact and direction of rotation.


What part of a roller coaster has the greatest potential?

When you are going down you have the most potential energy because the roller coaster and the speed is helping you go faster!


What part of speech is greatest?

Greatest is the superlative adjective of great.


Why moment of inertia is called rotational inertia?

That's what it's all about: about rotation. The "inertia" part is because it is comparable to the linear inertia: that's what makes it difficult to change an object's rotation.

What is a part of a machine that turns around on a fixed point?

A pivot or axle is a part of a machine that turns around a fixed point. It allows for rotational movement of components such as wheels or gears.


Are saturns rings soild?

Solid? As in a solid substance? Yes some fragments are as large as a mountain, others as fine as cigarette smoke, but solid not gas. The rings were once part of a moon.
