My science teacher says that a sphere will spin at a greater speed at it's poles. He says that the equator would spin the slowest.
He says it's basic physics that speed=distance/time.
Poles have a shorter distance to make a revolution contrary to the equator therefore it would have a greater speed.
The exact Axis point will not spin at all.
I tell him that as the circumference of a circle increases, a single point along it has to travel faster to complete a revolution in the same amount of time.
Am I right or wrong?
Thanks Guys.
God bless
