I'm really not sure.. can you elaborate?

Homework Statement Earth's orbit around the SUn is nearly circular. THe period is 1 year = 365.25 days. In an elapsed time of 2.70 days, what is Earth's angular displacement? what is the change in Earth's velocity (perpendicular to the average velocity) What is the Earth's average acceleration...

Homework Statement In an amusement park rocket ride, cars are suspended from L = 4.19 m cables attached to rotating arms at a distance of d = 6.05 m from the axis of rotation. The cables swing out an angle of theta = 46.7 degrees when the ride is operation. What is the angular speed of...

OHH so i just do v= 6378 km ( 1.99 x 10 ^-7) and my answer comes out in km/s?

OHH so i would just do v= 6378 km ( 1.99 x 10^-7) and that would give me my answer in km/second?

i converted w to radians/ second and got. 1.99 x 10^-7. i have no idea what the relationship is

.0172 radians/ days.. but its not asking for angular velocity so it doesn't want my answers in radians/ days or hours or seconds

Is there anyway you can also help me find out the change in the Earth's velocity? i know that velocity is change in distance over time. but it keeps telling me that i can' tput my answer in radians/seconds so i dontk now how to do it

YES! thank you so much for your help :)

0.0344048476 radians

(2 * pi radians) / 365.25 = 0.0172024238

2 pi i think

Homework Statement Earth's orbit around the sun is nearly circular. The period is 1 yr = 365.25 days. In an elapsed time of 2.0 days, what is Earth's angular displacement? Homework Equations Theta=Theta final - Theta inital The Attempt at a Solution I'm very confused and need...

that did not work either :( please help!

that makes sense.. and i tried what you said but it is incorrect! any other ideas? i added .33 with .264 and 0 with -.1408 i took the arctan of (.594/-.1408) and got -76.66
