Newton's first law states that a body in motion tends to stay in motion and that's why when you're driving a car and then suddenly stop you get pushed at the same speed you were traveling.
the Earth orbits the sun at 64,000 miles and the Earth's rotation is 1000 miles per a hour.
my question is that how come that when astrountes leave Earth they don't get pushed away at a speed of 64,000 miles per a hour.
and the second question is that if theoretically Earth would stop rotating will the object's on Earth's surface will get "pushed" at a velocity of 1k miles per a second?
