The path ofthe Moon around the Earth is approximately a circle, so:d = circumference of circular orbit= 2*pi*r, where r is the distance between the centre of theMoon and the centre of the Earth,therefore,Vmoon = 2*pi*r/t.Use this equation to calculate the speed of the Moon relative to Earth, as it orbits, assuming thedistance between the Moon and Earth, r = 384,467 km. Give your answer for the speed of theMoon in units of km/hour. How does this compare to the actual approximate speed of theMoon, 3700 km/hour. If your result is not reasonably close to the actual speed, try repeatingyour calculation/check your work.
