Chapter , Problem 86

(choose chapter or problem)

n object lying on Earths equator is accelerated (a) toward the center of Earth because Earth rotates, (b) toward the Sun because Earth revolves around the Sun in an almost circular orbit, and (c) toward the center of our galaxy because the Sun moves around the galactic center. For the latter, the period is 2.5 $ 108 y and the radius is 2.2 $ 1020 m. Calculate these three accelerations as multiples of g ! 9.8 m/s2 .
