Bubsa Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Wait... I'm moving at roughly 299,792,458 m/s (some my reconise this number some many not...) I sure would like to make a supersonic man out of you. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmage099 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 well... 1. we would be going as fast as earth...BUT WAIT 2. Solar system revolves so as fast as that...BUT WAIT 3. Universe is expanding so as fast as that...BUT WAIT 4. Some people believe in the multiverse theory and we could be revolving around something else...(no but waits...)

Giordano Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 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. Hes gotten the farest, but not the correct answer.

Guest GhostRanger Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hes gotten the farest, but not the correct answer. I think several people have reasonably explained how that question is relative...maybe it would be better if you specified what you're talking about?

lucasesco Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 What's the correct answer then? I'm driving my static bike while typing is that speed plz? :boohoo: I SURVIVED THE 111 BUG If a turtle doesnt have a shell, is it naked or homeless ?

No_OnE Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Wait... I'm moving at roughly 299,792,458 m/s (some my reconise this number some many not...) The speed of light in a vacuum... I guess I'm moving as fast as I'm growing, adding in the speed of the earth and it's velocity and all that hubabaloo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bull912000 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 We are all not going the same speed. As the earth rotates, it takes the same amount of time for something NEAR one of the poles than to make one revalution that it takes for something on the equater to go around. However, since the point at the pole has less distance to travel, it takes a shorter amount of time. Since we all have different lattitudes, we are going different speeds.

Ha I know that, but I'm saying a average speed, which the earth goes.

indy500fan Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Are you talking about space or time? This was my question that I think got overlooked... speed is distance/time. hes not just talking about space or time, he is talking about both. your question wasnt answed because it isnt relelvant. I know that, but I'm saying a average speed, which the earth goes. (not counting the universe expanding since we dont know where is the centerpoint) if you are just looking for the number: Max. orbital speed 30.287 km/s (109,033 km/h) Average orbital speed 29.783 km/s (107,218 km/h) Min. orbital speed 29.291 km/s (105,448 km/h) but its already been said that asking how fast you are going is not a good question, because it could be an infinite amount of answers acording to what you are relative to. the correct answer was "relative to what?" which has been said already.

Oy_the_Great Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hint: What makes the seasons. If you're talking about the Earth rotating around the Sun; that's not at all the largest movement we make. We slowly get dragged towards a gigantic black hole (hey, I just saw Muse live, perhaps that's why I come to think of it) in the middle of the Milky Way. And as you mentioned, the universe is also expanding at an unknown speed. Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

This was my question that I think got overlooked... speed is distance/time. hes not just talking about space or time, he is talking about both. your question wasnt answed because it isnt relelvant. Any question is relelvant when talking about something as abstract as relativity... Anyways. He never stated if he was talking about space time. Which you just assumed. But if you are at rest you are only traveling through time. Might be a little abstract for your pee brain but thats ok, bare with me. Pending Question... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_k0m0d0_ Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Ok, so speed up, about 1mph? How fast huh! Ah cmon! Whats the awser? Its some kind of tricky stuff?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsword33 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 sorry but we are NOT all going at the same speed. when the earth moves around the sun, but doesn't rotate on it's axes it's true. but since it does, it means that people on the equater are moving faster then ones on the poles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never stated if he was talking about space time. Which you just assumed. But if you are at rest you are only traveling through time. Might be a little abstract for your pee brain but thats ok, bare with me. Pending Question... :roll: when you are at rest, and still traveling through time, you dont talk in terms of speed. you talk in terms of minutes, hours, days ect. if he was talking just about space, and not about time, you dont talk in terms of speed either. you talk in terms of measurments such as meter, inches, yard. he was looking for speed, which deals with both space and time. i dont know why i decided to explain that, since you argument followed the ad hominem debate fallacy by saying i have a "pee brain" (lol, you said pee brain, not pea brain :lol: ) and therefore your argument is automatically invalid (besides for the fact it doesnt make sense).
