An object’s mechanical energy is a
its energy of motion.
b
the sum of its potential (position) energy and kinetic (motion) energy.
c
the waste energy it produces by friction.
d
not related to the object’s mass.

We found the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it revolves around the sun. compute the centripetal acceleration of a point on the surface of the earth at the equator caused by the rotation of the earth about its axis. (enter the magnitude. the radius of the earth is 6,371 km.)
