Answer:
3678.266 km/hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The moon competes it’s orbit around the earth approximately once every 27.3 days
The distance traveled by the moon to complete its orbit is about 2.41 million km
Question asked:
What is the average speed of the moon as it resolves around the earth in km/h ?
Solution:
By using time and distance formula:
The moon competes it’s orbit around the earth in = 27.3 days (time)
First convert it into hours, 1 day = 24 hours
27.3 days = 24[tex]\times[/tex]27.3 = 655.2 hours
The distance traveled by the moon to complete its orbit = 2.41 million km
Average speed of the moon = distance traveled divided by time taken
[tex]speed = \frac{distance}{time} \\[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2410000}{655.2} \\[/tex]
= 3678.266 km/hour
Therefore, average speed of the moon is 3678.266 km/hour.
