Question
This question concerns the linear speed of the Great Pyramid in Egypt relative to the
centre of the Earth. The angle between the Earth's axis of rotation and the radial line
joining the centre of the Earth to the Great Pyramid is 60.0°. Given that the radius of the
Earth is 6.38 x 106 m and that 1 sidereal day = 8.62 × 104 s, what is the linear speed of the
Great Pyramid relative to the centre of the Earth due to the Earth's daily rotation? Give
your answer in scientific notation, correct to 3 significant figures.
Linear speed relative to Earth's centre =
X²
ms-1.
