What is an approximate value for the rate at which the moon orbits the earth assuming the orbit is circular and the average distance between the earth and the moon is 382000000 meters?
The Radius of the moon = 382 000 000 metres Pi = 3.14159265 2 x 382 000 000 x 3.14159265 = 2 400 176784.6 The distance the moon travels in one revolution of the Earth is = 2 400 176784.6 meters The moon takes 27.32166 days to orbit the Earth. 2 400 176 784.6 / 27.32166 = 87 848 863.67 (2dp) metres in one day. 87 848 863.67 / 24 = 3 660 369.32 (2dp) metres in one hour 3 660 369.32 / 60 = 61 006.16 (2dp) metres in one minute 61 006.16 / 60 = 1 016.77 (2dp) metres in one secondlook it up
What is a rate in math?
A rate is a ratio which measures a certain variable in an amount of time. The most common rate would be distance / time (which measures speed).
How do you find the equivalent rate?
Multiply or divide both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the ratio or fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent rate.
Based on the information in the graph what can you conclude about the world?
the birthrate on earth is higher than the death rate. apex
Some common examples for rate ratio and proportion in daily life?
an example of a ratio is the difference between two numbers or sets of numbers such as 600 and 200... the ratio is 400...
Why does the moon rise gets delayed day after day?
That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.That is because of the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth - one revolution every 27 days.
Is the moon able to crash the earth?
No, it is in orbit around earth. It has an orbital velocity which would take it away from the Earth it it were no for the gravitational attraction of the two bodies. There are two opposite things going on that keep the Earth and Moon in their positions. The moon is actually getting further away from the Earth at about a rate of 4cm a year.
At what rate of speed does the moon travel around the earth?
The Moon revolves around the Earth once in about 27.32 days. At its orbital distanceof about 238,000 miles, that works out to an average of about 2,281 miles per hourrelative to the center of the Earth.
Which of these occurs because the moon spins on its axis at the same rate it orbits the earth?
The phenomenon where the same side of the moon always faces the Earth is called synchronous rotation. This occurs because the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon have caused the moon's rotation period to match its orbital period around the Earth.
How does the Moon's rate of rotation about its own axis compare with its rate of revolution around Earth?
This has to do with the different orbital planets of Earth and the Moon. Earth revolves around the Sun in flat planar orbit. The Moon similarly revolves about Earth in flat planar orbit. But the planets are slightly tipped with respect to each other - a 5.2* tilt The moons rotation on its axis is equal to its orbit round the Earth with respect to the sun and stars. It presents one side permanently to the Earth so in relation to the earth it does not rotate.
How much does the moon move away from earth each year?
The moon moves away from Earth at a rate of approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year due to tidal forces. This gradual drift is caused by the transfer of Earth's rotational energy to the moon's orbital motion.
How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning it rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits Earth, resulting in the same side always facing us. In contrast, Earth rotates at a faster rate and does not exhibit tidal locking with the Moon.
Which occurs when the moon spins on its axis at the same rate it orbits the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth
What is the approximate value for the rate at which the moon orbits the earth?

Will the earth and the moon join?
Not hardly. The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of a few inches per year. In about 25000 years, the moon may have the potential to escape the gravity of the Earth.
Is the moon falling towards the earth?
No, the moon is not falling towards the Earth. It is actually moving away from our planet at a very slow rate.
Why is only one side of the moon visible from earth?
The effect of gravity has given the Moon a rotational period that is the same as its orbital period around the Earth. So as it goes around the Earth every 28 days, it slowly spins at the same rate (even though the Earth spins at a much faster rate beneath it).Tidal LockingThe moon is 'tidally locked' with earth. Planets and moons are not made of purely smooth, evenly-distributed material. They have lots of bumps and bulges, even if their overall shape is spherical. The side of the moon that faces earth represents the more massive side of the moon. Over a very long time, the mutual tidal and gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon caused the more massive part of the Moon to always face Earth. All orbiting bodies have a tendency toward this tidal locking, but again, it takes an enormous amount of time and also depends on the rate of rotation of the body.Seeing Along the EdgesInterestingly, there is a phenomenon called 'libration', which causes the Moon to apparently wobble from side to side and also a little up and down. [Think Libra, the scale. Imagine a balance scale slowly moving up and down until it settles.] The Moon is not actually wobbling. It is the result of a practically constant rotational rate for the Moon on its axis, and the fact that the orbital velocity of the Moon around the Earth is not constant. Because the Moon's orbit is elliptical, it revolves more rapidly when it is closer to the Earth. Also, some of the libration happens because the Moon does not orbit around the Earth exactly in the Earth's equatorial plane. This means we can 'peek' a little above and a little below the usual horizon of the Moon. Over a period of about 15 years of lunar observation from Earth, we see about 60% of the Moon's surface as a result of all that libration.
