Find an approximate value for the rate at which the moon orbits the earth. assume the orbits is circular?

Question

the average distance between the earth and the moon is 382,000,000 meters

Answer 1

speed = distance / time

circumference = 2 pi r

moon orbit = 28 days

plug in the numbers, massage, get your answer. what's the problem?

Answer 2

The moon orbits Earth at about 2,290 mph

Answer 3

Approximate value....once every 28 days...just a bit of common knowledge lol

Answer 4

Pi times r divided by 28days divided by (24hours/day)

I don't have a calculator, so I'll estimate    

1.07x1.91E8/7/24 =  1.2E6meters per hour

I used 28 days as an estimate for a lunar month.

I also used your distance figure.

Answer 5

so we have orbit(circumference)=2pi(r)=2.4*10^9

it goes around in one month=29.53 days=708.72 hrs

so (2.4*10^9)/708.72=3386636 m/hr

I got different lengths for lunar month, google put it at 29.53 days, wikipedia at 27.3 days
