Answer 1

Neither your rotation nor the rotation of the earth changes during the time of your fall. If you stand on the top of a tall building and look down at a spot on the ground, and then throw yourself at that spot, that is where you will land.

Both you and the earth are rotating at the same speed before your leap, and they keep doing so during the time of your fall. Ignoring air friction, there is nothing to slow your rotation, so you land where you aimed.

Now, there is the Coriolis effect, which comes into play when a missle, such as a bullet, is shot northward or southward. When shot horizontally due north, it will land east of due north; when shot horizontally due south, it will land west of due south. If you want to know more about the Coliolis effect, give me ten points and ask another question.

Answer 2

all i can say is that earth rotates 15 degrees in an hour and 1 degree in 4 minutes so you do the math.
