How to figure out velocity at specific latitudes on earth?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what data do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres a change in the value of g with different positions on earth. so, when you are using v^2=u^2+2as, the value of a changes with latitude

OpenStudy (adamaero):

It will depend. One is 42.7633° N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, are you calculating velocity of a falling object?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

I'm going to find the velocity at specific latitudes in Wisconsin. So no.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

It shouldn't depend on longitude--right? 42.7633° N, 90.4067° W is one specific point from where I need to find its velocity (earth's rotation and such).
