Answer:
speed = 1037.5 miles per hour
day and night will be more longer
and in day temperature will be increase
and in night low temperature will be low
Explanation:
given data
circumference of Earth = 24,900 miles
to find out
how fast someone at the equator is rotating in miles per hour
solution
we know that speed is
speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
we assume time for one rotation is 23:56:04 that is equal to 23.934 hours per day and we consider around 24 hours per day
so
from equation 1
speed = [tex]\frac{24900}{24}[/tex]
speed = 1037.5 miles per hour
and if the rotational speed of Earth were to slow down then rotation time will be longer than 24 hours per day
so day and night will be more longer
and in day temperature will be increase
and in night low temperature will be low
