Spinning at the North Pole: Equator to Arctic Teleportation

AI Thread Summary
Teleporting from the equator to the North Pole results in traveling at 465 meters per second, exceeding the speed of sound. Upon arrival, a person would be lying down rather than standing, as their orientation changes drastically. Despite the high speed, relative to the surroundings, there would be no spinning effect since both the person and the Earth rotate at the same rate. The discussion raises questions about the implications of this scenario on vorticity, although the connection remains unclear. Overall, the teleportation experience highlights the complexities of motion and orientation in relation to Earth's rotation.

If You are suddenly teleported from the equator to the north pole. How fast and which way will you be spinning relative to your surroundings?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Spinning will be the least of my problems. If I was standing up, I will now be lying down. And I will be traveling at 465 meter/sec, which is more than the speed of sound, about Mach 1.4.
 
Relative to your surroundings, you will not be spinning at all. Both you and the surroundings spin at approximately 1 revolution per day, and in the same direction.
 
What does this have to do with vorticity?
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
