A satellite will travel indefinitely in a circular orbit around the earth if the normal component of its acceleration is equal to g (R/r)2 where g=9.81 m/s2,R = radius of the earth = 6370 km. and r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite. Assuming that the orbit of the moon is a circle of radius 384 x 103 km. determine the speed of the moon relative to the earth.
