Answer:
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration's equation is:
where v is the velocity of the object (moon II) and r is the radius. We have the radius, but we don't have the velocity, and we can't solve for acceleration until we do have it. Assuming moon II is a circle, or close enough to be called a circle, it has a circumference.
C = 2πr. If we can find the circumference of the circle, we can plug in the orbital period for the time, the circumference for the distance, and solve for velocity in d = rt. So let's do that and see what happens.
C = 2(3.14)(9.0 × 10⁷) and
C = d = 5.7 × 10⁸. Plugging in and solving for v:
and
v = 1.9 × 10³. That is the velocity we can use in the centripetal acceleration equation.
and
These are fun!
