QUESTION 2 A meteor enters the earth atmostphere with speed of 1,156 m/s and it crosses the sky above your head in the straight direction from the south to the north geographic pole. What is the total speed of the meteor in your reference frame considering that you move along with the rotating Earth? Assume that you stand on the equator, the Earth radius is 6378 km. 2xR
