**Question 10:**

For the following locations, find the rotational speed of Earth.

- Washington, D.C., with latitude 38.9072° N
- Lima, Peru, with latitude 12.0464° S
- Wenham, MA, with latitude 42.6043° N
- The North Pole, with latitude 90.0000° N
- The Equator, with latitude 0.0000°

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram represents the Earth with labeled points: the North Pole, Equator, and South Pole. It displays a longitudinal line marked as "L", and a latitude circle for a location at an angle "θ" from the Equator. The illustration shows how different latitudes relate to the Earth's rotational speed, with the largest circumference and fastest speed at the Equator.
