The moon completes one (circular) orbit of the earth in 23.7 days. The distance from the earth to the moon is 3.84×10^8m. Calculate the centripetal acceleration.

Sagot :

Given that distance of moon from the earth is, R= 3.84 x 10^8 m

Also, time taken to complete one revolution is, T= 23.7 days = 2047680 seconds

Mass of the moon is, m= 7.347 Kg

To find the centripetal acceleration,

[tex]a_c=\frac{m4\pi^2R}{T}[/tex]

Substituting the values, we get
