Answer:
Velocity of moon = 586.23 km/h
Explanation:
We are given;
Distance of moon from the Earth = 384403 km
Time taken to orbit earth;t = 27.32166 days
24 hours make 1 day, thus 27.32166 days = 27.32166 × 24 = 655.72 hours
Formula for velocity is distance/time
Thus,
Velocity of moon = distance from moon to earth/time taken to orbit the earth
Velocity of moon = 384403/655.72 = 586.23 km/h
