Asked by Hammad
Calculate the acceleration of a car that is travelling at a constant speed of 100 km per hour on a straight road. The radius R of the Earth is 6370 km. Why do we not feel this acceleration?

centripetal acceleration due to Earth rotation.
angular rotation=w=2PI/(24*3600) rad/sec
acceleration=w^2*r=(2PI/(24*3600))^2*6.37E6 m/s^2=
.034 m/s^2
How does that compare to 9.8m/s^2
