- The angular speed of a point on Earth is π/12 radian per hour. The Equator lies on a circle of radius approximately 4000 miles. Find the linear velocity, in miles per hour, of a point on the Equator.arrow_forwardA camera on the ground is 10 km away from a launch pad. From there it tracks a rocket launched vertically into the atmosphere. At a certain instant, the angle of elevation from the camera to the rocket is 21/3 radians and is changing at a rate of 0.5 radians per second. Determine the rocket's velocity at that instant.arrow_forward
