The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year ( days). Determine the average angular velocity (in rad/s) of the earth like it (a) spins on its axis and (b) orbit the sun. In each case, take the positive direction for the angular displacement to be the direction of the earth's motion.

The earth orbits the sun once a year (3.16 multiplied by 107 s) ina nearly circular orbit radius 1.50 multiplied by 1011 m. Withrespect to the sun, determine the following.
the angular speed of the earth, the tangential speed of the earthand the magnitude and direction of the earth's centripetalacceleration.

The vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox are associated with two points 180° apart in the Earth's orbit. That is, the Earth is on precisely opposite sides of the Sun when it passes through these two points. From the vernal equinox. 185.4 days elapse before the autumnal equinox. Only 179.8 days elapse from the autumnal equinox until the next vernal equinox. Why is the interval from the March (vernal) to the September (autumnal) equinox (which contains the summer solstice) longer than the interval from the September to the March equinox rather than being equal to that interval? Choose one of the following reasons, (a) They are really the same, but the Earth spins faster during the "summer" interval, so the days are shorter, (b) Over the "summer" interval, the Earth moves slower because it is farther from the Sun. (c) Over the March-to-September interval, the Earth moves slower because it is closer to the Sun. (d) The Earth has less kinetic energy when it is wanner, (e) The Earth has less orbital angular momentum when it is warmer.

A student holds a spinning bicycle wheel while sitting motionless on a stool that is free to rotate about a vertical axis through its center (Fig. P8.67). The wheel spins with an angular speed of 17.5 rad/s and its initial angular momentum is directed up. The wheel's moment of inertia is 0.150 kgm2 and the moment of inertia for the student plus the stool is 3.00 kg. m2. 

(a) Find the student's final angular speed after he turns the wheel over so that it spins at the same speed but with its angular momentum directed down, (b) Will the student's final angular momentum be directed up or down.
