 Angular Velocity of Earth & moon, etc?
Find the angular velocity, in rad/s, of (a) the earth due to its daily spin on the axis, (b) the earth due to its yearly motion around the sun, and (c) our moon due to its monthly motion around the earth.

a, 2 pi/86400 radians/second. b, 2 pi/(86400 x 365.22424) radians/second. c, 2 pi/(86400 x 27.5) radians/second for sidereal motion.
