Suppose that the earth is a uniform sphere and that its path around the sun is circular.

1) Compute the kinetic energy that the earth has because of its motion around the sun.

2) Compute the kinetic energy that the earth has because of its rotation about its own axis. For comparison, the total energy utilized in the United States in one year is about 9.33*10⁹ J.
