1. Earth travels around the Sun at a speed of 29.8 kilometers per second. At this speed, Earth requires 3.15576×107 seconds to orbit the Sun once. What is the distance from the Earth to the Sun in kilometers?
2. The moon, at an average distance from the Earth of 384,403 km takes 27.32166 days to orbit the Earth. What is the velocity of the moon in kilometers per hour?
Distance of path is given by speed multiplied by time .
And velocity is distance travelled divided by time
Calculation is shown below.

Need all questions answered. Thank you 1. Driving around the Earth. The distance around the Earth is very nearly 25,000 miles. Imagine that you could drive a car at 60 miles per hour all the way around the Earth. How long would this take? Express your answer in days. 2. Driving to the Moon. The average distance between the Earth and Moon is 239,000 miles. At 60 mph, how long would a drive to the Moon take? Express your answer...
A. The Sun travels in a circular orbit at a velocity of 220 km/second at a distance of 8.0 kiloparsecs from the center of the Galaxy (note that these numbers are slightly different from those in your book). Calculate the number of years it takes the Sun to complete an orbit (i.e., the circumference of a circle with an 8.0 kiloparsec radius) around the center of the Galaxy. (There are 3.1 x 1013 kilometers/parsec and 3.2 x 107 seconds/year.) B....
1.) The earth completes a circular orbit around the sun with a radius of 93,000,000 miles. What is the speed of the earth around the sun in meters per second? Assume that one year has 365.25 days. Figure out the number of seconds in one year. Put results in scientific notation.
Given that the distance to the Moon is 384000 km, and taking the Moon’s orbit around Earth to be circular, estimate the speed (in kilometers per second) at which the Moon orbits the Earth.
Exercise 3.28 The radius of the earth's orbit around the sun (assumed to be circular) is 1.50 x 10° km, and the earth travels around this orbit in 365 days. Part A What is the magnitude of the orbital velocity of the earth in m/s? - Part B What is the radial acceleration of the earth toward the sun? Part What is the magnitude of the orbital velocity of the planet Mercury radius 5.79 x 10 km orbital period =...
Need help please and thanks! Moon Pory om Earth Roe Sun For simplicity, assume the earth moves in a circular orbit around the sun, and the moon circles the earth, all in the horizontal plane. The center of the earth is a distance of 1.5*1011 m from the center of the sun, circling at an angular velocity of de = 2*10-7 rad/s (1 revolution per year). The center of the moon is a distance of 3.84*108 m from the center...
a height of 15 km. If the viscosity of the air is n. of the earth. (8 pts) ven that the moon is 239000 miles from the earth and takes 1 month to orbit the Sun once, using the internet find the distance from earth to the international space station and any other quantities you need to solve the problem then calculate the time it should take to go around the earth once. Show the reasoning and calculations behind your...
The radius of the earth's orbit around the sun (assumed to be circular) is 1.50×108km, and the earth travels around this orbit in 365 days. Part A What is the magnitude of the orbital velocity of the earth in m/s? Express your answer in meters per second Part B What is the radial acceleration of the earth toward the sun? Express your answer in meters per second squared. Part C What is the magnitude of the orbital velocity of the...
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with an altitude between 160 kilometers (99 mi) (orbital period of about 88 minutes). If the radius of the earth is around 6400km, what is the speed of a satellite (in Km/s) on this LEO?
The earth moves around the sun in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.50 1011 m. During the three summer months (an elapsed time of 7.89 106 s), the earth moves one-fourth of the distance around the sun. (a) What is the average speed of the earth? (b) What is the magnitude of the average velocity of the earth during this period?
