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 x 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.

A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula. The captain orders the ship to travel 2.7 x 106 kilometers before turning 70° and traveling 2.3 x 106 kilometers before assuming the path towards the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude (in kilometers) and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the path of the spaceship if it had instead traveled directly through the nebula? L magnitude direction spaceship km A nebula space station B ww counterclockwise from the +x-axis
A spaceship travels through deep space to a space station and needs to make a heading correction to get around a nebula. The captain orders the ship to travel 3.1 x 106 kilometers before turning 70 ° and to travel 2.5 x 106 kilometers in that direction. If the captain had not ordered a heading correction, what would have been the magnitude (in kilometers) and the direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the + x-axis) (Counter clockwise: counterclockwise) of the trajectory of the spaceship if it had traveled through the nebula?
You watch an ant crawl around on a piece of paper. The paper is 10.0 inches from top to bottom and 9.60 inches across. When you first look, the ant is at the top of the paper, in the middle of the page. It crawls around finally leaving the paper at the bottom right corner of the paper. Using a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the paper, the +x+x direction pointing to the right, and the +y+y direction point to the top of the page, what angle does the line from the origin to the ant's initial location make with the horizontal? Multiple choice: 43.9° above the horizontal 45° above the horizontal 90° above the horizontal 0° (along the horizontal) 46.2° above the horizontal
