Earth is not quite an inertial frame. We often make measurementsin a reference frame fixed on the Earth, assumingEarth is an inertial reference frame. But the Earth rotates, sothis assumption is not quite valid. Show that this assumptionis off by 3 parts in 1000 by calculating the acceleration of anobject at Earths equator due to Earths daily rotation, andcompare to g = 9.80 m/s2, the acceleration due to gravity.
