Question: Using astronomical data from Appendix F, along with the fact that the earth spins on its axis once per day, calculate (a) The earth's orbital

Using astronomical data from Appendix F, along with the fact that the earth spins on its axis once per day, calculate
(a) The earth's orbital angular speed (in rad/s) due to its motion around the sun,
(b) Its angular speed (in rad/s) due to its axial spin,
(c) The tangential speed of the earth around the sun (assuming a circular orbit),
(d) The tangential speed of a point on the earth's equator due to the planet's axial spin, and
(e) The radial and tangential acceleration components of the point in part (d).
