During a total solar eclipse the Moon’s shadow travels across the Earth at a speed of about 2400 km/hr or 667 m/s. If Texas is 1,244 km (1,244,000 m) wide, how long will it take (in minutes), for the shadow to travel across Texas?

The earth revolves around the sun in exactly 365 1/4 days which is equivalent to 1 year. To make up for the loss of 1/4 day, the calendar was adjusted so that we have a leap year for every 4 years. If the earth were to speed in its motion slightly so that a year would be completed in exactly 365 days and 6 hours, how often would we need to have a leap year?
As an aspiring science fiction author, you are writing about a space-faring race and their home planet, Krypton, which has one moon. This moon takes 1,702,948 seconds to complete an orbit around Krypton.

Prof. Chini's research group uses short bursts of laser light to measure the motion of electrons moving within and among atoms. In the planetary model of the atom, the hydrogen atom can be viewed as having a single electron in a circular orbit with a diameter of approximately 10-10 m. If the average speed of the electron in the orbit is known to be 2,200,000 m/s, calculate the number of revolutions per second it makes around the nucleus.
