Earth is (approximately) a sphere with a radius RE-6,355.0 km that is spinning around its own axis once every 24 hours, and rotating around the Sun on an orbit that has an average radius of 1 AU=1.496E8 km and an orbital period of 365.25 days. What is the centripetal acceleration of a person standing on the Equator due to Earth's rotation about its own axis? Provide your answer in units of (m/s^2) to 3 decimal places. Do not use scientific notation.
