To calculate the total kinetic energy (K.E.) of the Earth, we need to consider both its rotational kinetic energy (due to its spinning about its own axis) and its translational kinetic energy (due to its orbit around the Sun). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Mass of Earth, \( m = 6 \times 10^{24} \) kg - Radius of Earth, \( R = 6400 \) km = \( 6400 \times 10^3 \) m - Speed of Earth in its orbit, \( v = 30 \) km/s = \( 30 \times 10^3 \) m/s ...
