The moon orbits the earth with a tangential velocity of 1,022 m/s, and the orbital radius of the moon around the earth is 3.85 x 108m. The mass of the moon is 7.35 x 1022 kg. a). What is the orbital period of the moon around the earth? Convert to days. b). What is the net force acting on the moon? c). Using Newton’s law of universal gravitation, estimate the mass of the earth using your answer from part(b) above.
