The Moon orbits Earth every 27.3 days. Determine the angular velocity of the Moon, in degrees per day and in radians per day.

Question

The radius of the orbit of the Moon is about 384 400 km. How far does the Moon move along an arc of it's orbit every?

Answer 1

well it takes the moon to rotate earth 27.3 days.1 rotation = 360 degrees

therefore 360/27.3 = 13.19 degrees/day

to convert to radians, 1 rotation = 360 degrees= 2 X Pi

2Pi/27.3days = 0.23 rad

Answer 2

oh nd for thhe second part use the formula arc= radius X angle theta

angle would be the one we calculated in th first parrt, MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS PUT THETA IN RADIANS IN THIS FORMULA

Answer 3

1.96 * 104

Answer 4

13
