Question

Calculate the vertical distance through which the moon falls in 2 days.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the radius of moon s orbit is 3.8 * 108 m.

Period of moon s revolution = 27.3 days = 2.4 * 106 seconds.

The velocity = ωR = 2 * 22/7 * R / T = 2 * 22/7 * 3.8 * 108 / 2.4 * 106 = 103m/s.
