Orbital period of the Moon around Earth 2.36 × 106 s
Mean orbital radius of the Moon 3.83 × 108 m
Mass of Earth 6.0 × 1024 kg
Mass of the Moon 7.35 × 1022 kg



Use the data below to answer Questions 12 and 13.
12 What is the centripetal force experienced by the Moon due to Earth’s influence?
(A) 2.0 × 1020 N
(B) 1.6 × 1022 N
(C) 4.7 × 1026 N
(D) 7.6 × 1028 N
What is the orbital period of an Earth satellite having an orbital radius half that of the
Moon?
(A) 5.9 × 105 s
(B) 8.3 × 105 s
(C) 1.2 × 106 s

12) use the formulas: f = mv^2/r and v = 2pir/T

13) half the radius and use kepler law since they orbit the same central mass you can equate and solve
