The speed of the person standing at the equator is 1656 km/h which is equal to 1,028.57 mph.
What is the speed of rotation of the Earth at the equator?
The surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second.
v = 460 m/s
The person standing at the equator will move with this same speed.
Convert the speed in meters per second to kilometers per hour
1 m/s = 3.6 km
460 m/s = ?
= 1656 km/h
Convert the speed in meters per second to miles per hour
1 mile = 1.61 km
1 mi/1.61km x 1656 km/h = 1,028.57 mph
Thus, the speed of the person standing at the equator is 1656 km/h which is equal to 1,028.57 mph.
