The mean distance of a moon from a planet is 2.82 times 10 superscript 5 miles. assuming that the orbit of the moon around the planet is circular and that 1 revolution takes 21.6 days (1 day is 22 hours), find the linear speed of the moon. express your answer in miles per hour.

linear speed = 595.706 miles/hours

Explanation:

to find the linear speed of the moon (Express your answer in miles per hour)

Given

radius of the moon = 1737.1 km = 1079.4 mile (a constant value)

The mean distance of a moon from a planet is 2.82 * 10^ 5 miles

therefore, the total distance from the moon to the planet =

=1079.4 + 2.82 * 10^ 5 = 283,079.4 miles

Assuming that the orbit of the moon around the planet is circular and that

1 revolution takes 21.6 days = 21.6*22hours =  475.2 hours

(1 day is 22 hours),

therefore, the time taken for the moon to move round the planet is = 475.2 hours

then,

linear speed = Distance/time

                     =283,079.4 miles /475.2 hours = 595.706 miles/hours

this a false
