The circumference of a circle with a diameter of 16 km is: 50.3 km
Assuming that the moon is spherical and the orbit is circular: Lunar diameter = 3,475 km Orbital diameter = 3,475 + 42 = 3,517 km Orbital circumference = (pi) times diameter = 3,517(pi) = 11,048.981 km (rounded)
Multiply the diameter by pi to find the circumference
12.5 km
If the orbit is 800 greater than the Earth's diameter then we need to add 1,600 to the earth's diameter to get the diameter of the satellite's orbit, as it is 800 in both directions. 12,800 + 1,600 = 14,400 km diameter The circumference of a circle is π times the diameter. Let us use 3.1416 as an approximate value for π. That gives us a circumference of 45,239.04 km If it does that much in 100 minutes, then it will do 6/10 of that in 60 minutes. 45,239.04 x 6/10 = 27,143.424.... so we can round it off to a speed of 27,143.5 kph
