Well Heres A math question... I wonder if anyone can answer it..... Lets see how smart you are

Find an aproximate value for the rate at which the moon orbits the earth. Assume that the moon's orbit is circular.

Hint: the average distance betweeen the earth and the moon is 382,000,000 meters.

This really isnt a hard question... Lets see if anyone can get it!!!

I was at school today and this question came up... Its simple!!!

 

Mean Orbital Velocity
1.03 km s-1

 

i know the answer too it is easy lets see how long it takes these dumbasses to get it

 

No one knows the answer damn...... I give it a day and see if maybe one of those kettering guys can figure it out!!!

Its kinda of nerve racking but simple!!!

 

Nope I read the question exactly how it came out of the book word for word!!!

 

A dumb person wrote that book.
Here is how I found the answer:

Givens: R=382,000,000m

Sovle:
C=pi*D Where D=2*R
So D=764,000,000
So C=2400176787.3226

Here is where the problem gets stupid I know the author of the book is assuming the moon travels around the earth once a day, but it only travels around it once every 27.3217 days.
So C/27.3217= 87,848735.1564 m/day
or 3,660,363.96485 meter/hour
or 0.6317902 mile/second
or 87,848,735,156.4 millimeter/day
or 32.9406404 nautical mile/minute
or 0.2105963 league/second [statute]
or 1,976.4384259 knot
or 3,458,611,620.330708 inch/day
or 1,016.767768 benz
My guess is that it is not a math question, but an example on how you should always be careful to consider if all of the info you need is there before you start working.

 

a smart person sits quietly and waits for the answer to be posted on stuntlife and saves his precious brain power to learn power wheelies

 

You Are correct in a way it was a math question... Simple as it maybe and yes your answer is right niner...

But to all who read the question this was a simple d=r.t question that was all... You see the question just seemed like it was going to be diffucult the way they worded it....

Niner you are correct!!!

 

You work full time at Taco Bell don't you?

 

Niner I give you props and he can ride wheelies you are the man!!! :YEAH


Just something little and simple question that I had in class... Thought I would post...

Class is over with!!!

 

You have just been schooled! :YEAH

 

The book never gave you the orbit... Yes I did have to Look up the orbit and yo are correct it is 27 days.. There was a few things that were not given that you had to find out or know..

 

yes i do but im the MANAGER so i am smart :YEAH
