Question 4:
The earth’s radius is about 3987.4 miles. Kampala, the capital
city of the country Uganda, and Singapore are both nearly on the
equator. The distance between them is 5126.1
miles. Answer both of these questions to 1 decimal
place.
1. When you fly from Kampala to Singapore what is the
angle you turn through in degrees and radians
relative to the earth (give both answers)?
2. The flight from Kampala to Singapore takes 9.7
hours. What is the plane's average angular speed relative
to the earth in rad/s, give the answer in scientific
notation?
