Answer to Question #91020 in Mechanics | Relativity for Murari

Question

We dont feel earth rotation because we all are moving with same velocity as earth is
But in routine life we move on different paths i.e. we unknowingly move against direction of spinning og earth what happens i mean that i am moving against direction of spinning of earth then what we feel rest or motion

Answer 1

Any object on the equator of the Earth rotates at a speed of approximately 465 meters per second. Our speed is much smaller than this number. The rotational speed of the Earth at each latitude is unchanged. We are moving along with Earth, and that’s why we don’t feel Earth’s spin. We would feel Earth’s spin if suddenly the Earth’s speed up or slow down.
