A newly discovered planet has a mean radius of 3360km. A vehicle on the planet's surface is moving in the same direction as the planet's rotation, and its speedometer reads 161km/h. If the angular velocity ωV of the vehicle about the planet's center is 1.13 times as large as the angular velocity ωp of the planet, what is the period T of the planet's rotation in hours? T= h Now the vehicle reverses direction. What speed v must the vehicle have, as measured by the speedometer, in order to have an angular velocity that is equal and opposite to the planet's? v=km/h
