Question
There is a typo in this question. Ignore the
”cdot” in the units for G.
A satellite is in a circular orbit just above
the surface of the Moon.
What is the satellite’s acceleration?
The value of gravitational constant is
6.67259 × 10−11 Ncdotm2/kg2 and the mass
of the moon is 7.36 × 1022 kg and its radius is
1675.2 km.
Answer in units of m/s2
