I think you're talking about Diurnal Motion. It's because of Earth's rotational motion on it's axis.

In case of 'two significant figures', the answer should definitely be 3.2

The simultaneous equations you gave here have conflicting values of a and b. Solving the first two equations, we can have a=8 and b=-3. On the other hand putting a=8 on 3rd equation doesn't satisfy b=-3. Since the equations are of first order, there will be single discreet solution for a and b...

Your equation is correct. Since the online homework website is saying that you're having some kind of rounding error, I went on checking the values. It appears that the actual value should be approximately 3.16045. Try to input 3.16 as an answer there.

Pardon my ignorance, I didn't know about that. So, I need to go through GRE for getting admitted, right?

Hello there, I'm a Undergraduate student of Physics from India. Recently I came across information regarding joining PhD programmes directly after completing undergraduate courses in Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. Frankly speaking, I didn't know it was possible. Now, since I solemnly...
