This statement has no real scientific meaning unless you specify what the movement is relative to.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_(physics) In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time
the top of the plane has changed its position 314 ft
more than the ground in a 24 hour period.right redd!
observation of motion requires more
Motion is observed by attaching a frame of reference to a body and measuring its change in position relative to another reference frame.
but if no one is there to observe the motion of an object
it still has motion.
I used 4000 miles as the radius of the outer edge of the ground and I used 50 ft as the height of the plane.
I dont need any frame of reference.
I already know that the earth rotates 1 revolution per day and that time period is 24 hours.
so I already know the angular velocity of the ground where the plane is sitting , all thats left is to calculate the greater
angular velocity of the top of the plane.
pretty simple stuff there guys.
and I hold that the top of the plane is moving faster than
the ground...
