The radius of the earth's orbit around the sun is 1.5 x 1011 m. Calculate the angular and linear velocity of the earth? 

Solution

Given, 
Radius of Earth's orbit, r = 1.5 x 1011
Time period of revolution of earth around the sun is 1 year. 
That is, 
T =  1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 s
Therefore, 
Angular velocity, straight omega space equals space fraction numerator 2 straight pi over denominator straight T end fraction
equals space fraction numerator 2 space cross times space open parentheses begin display style bevelled 22 over 7 end style close parentheses over denominator 365 space straight x space 24 space straight x space 60 space straight x 60 end fraction space equals space 1.99 space cross times space 10 to the power of negative 7 end exponent space sec
Linear velocity, v = straight omega space straight r 
                        equals space 1.99 space cross times space 10 to the power of negative 7 end exponent space cross times space 1.5 space cross times space 10 to the power of 11

equals space 2.99 space cross times space 10 to the power of 4 space straight m divided by straight s
