If we are located at the equator and take take a cannon ,point it straight up and fire a round, does the fact that the earth is rotating at 1000 miles per hour{roughly 1500 feet per second} mean that the round will be many miles away from us when it lands? Why or why not?
I dunno. I suppose that if I were at the Equator and I jumped four feet straight up that I would land in roughly the same spot, no?
