Answer:
Explanation:
for a person to fly off, the earth should be spinning at a speed where the centrifugal force due to rotation is equal to the gravitational pull of the earth at the surface.
So,
therefore,
9.81 = (V^2)/r
v = sqrt (9.81*6400(1000))
v = 7,923.63 m/sec.
Thus, the velocity at the surface of earth will be 7923 m/sec
Circumference of the earth is 40,075 km = 40075000 m
time required to complete of revolution = 40075000/7923.63
= 5075 sec
= 1.404 hours = 1 hour 24 minutes
For a person to fly off, the earth should be moving at nearly 8000 m/sec.
This would mean that the day on earth would last for about 1 hour and 24 minutes.
