A person is standing on the South Pole. Their speed is zero (relative to the earth's axis) because they are not moving around due to the earths rotation (like standing in the middle of a merry-go round).

That person walks 100 meters North. What is their new speed due to earth's rotation?
Assume the person's circle that they are now moving is determined by the diameter of the daily circle at this location- which is 200 meters. (Note: a circle's circumference is given by diameter times pi; or 3.14 time a circle's diameter).

Give final answer with correct units and show how you calculated and arrived at this answer.

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
