How fast are YOU going? (Speed)

Featured Replies

How fast are you currently going right now? We all are going at a same speed (if we are sittting/standing and reading this). There is only 1 answer (if you're sitting/standing and reading this [no cars, planes, or trains])

Im going as fast as the earth is! :shock:

Anyway, on a more serious note, I don't think anybody is browsing Tip.It while running an F1 car.

 

 

 

You obviously don't know me very well. :roll:

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

I'm surely looking foward to that. :3>

"apinagez... let me

The Earth rotates once in a few minutes under a day (23 hours 56 minutes 04. 09053 seconds). This is called the sidereal period (which means the period relative to stars). The sidereal period is not exactly equal to a day because by the time the Earth has rotated once, it has also moved a little in its orbit around the Sun, so it has to keep rotating for about another 4 minutes before the Sun seems to be back in the same place in the sky that it was in exactly a day before.

 

 

 

 

 

An object on the Earth's equator will travel once around the Earth's circumference (40,075.036 kilometers) each sidereal day. So if you divide that distance by the time taken, you will get the speed. An object at one of the poles has hardly any speed due to the Earth's rotation. (A spot on a rod one centimeter in circumference for example, stuck vertically in the ice exactly at a pole would have a speed of one centimeter per day!). The speed due to rotation at any other point on the Earth can be calculated by multiplying the speed at the equator by the cosine of the latitude of the point. (If you are not familiar with cosines, I wouldn't worry about that now, but if you can find a pocket calculator which has a cosine button you might like to try taking the cosine of your own latitude and multiplying that by the rotation speed at the equator to get your own current speed due to rotation!).

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway...to answer your question, the average movement of any object on Earth is at 107226.435986159169 kilometres per day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ha.

Im going as fast as the earth is! :shock:

Why are you being mean to me today?

 

 

 

Why!!!

You got part of it, but thats not the answer.

Fast.. relative to what?

Are you talking about space or time?

:shock: And I tought this was a seriuos thing.... but well, be happy. ^^

 

 

 

I'm going as fast as my chair, in from of my computer. Really!

Fast.. relative to what?

 

 

 

Since velocity is relative, I guess my speed is undefined :wink: Intense.

Wait... I'm moving at roughly 299,792,458 m/s (some my reconise this number some many not...)

Your Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

I'm not being mean to you specifically, but I've seen two sarcasm opportunities that happened to be over your posts. :mrgreen:

 

Komodo, I'm posting this from the robotica. :P

Depends what your comparing my speed too. It is all relevant. For instance my speed moving from this chair is 0mph. My speed moving around the sun is very fast. My speed on the earth rotating could be compared to my speed round the edge of the earth. If you want to talk galaxys moving ect, I am going very very fast.

Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!

If I can jump on a wall and stay for a second then do a 360 (I go like 2 feet up) then I go Fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111shift111!!

i get that..cause we're seeing the transfered light from the screen to our retina....clever.
