The Moon orbits the Earth in an approximately circular path. The position of the moon as a function of time is given by: x(t) = r cos(wt) y(t) = r sin(wt) where r = 3.84 x 108 m and w = 2.46 x 10-6 radians/s. What is the average velocity of the Moon measured over the interval from t = 0 tot = 5.03 days? Find its magnitude and direction, given as an angle measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. m/s magnitude direction counterclockwise from the +x-axis
