(11%) Problem 8: The Moon has a mass of 7.35 × 1022 kg and a radius of 1.74 × 106 m. It orbits around the Earth at a distance of 3.84 × 108 m, completing a full rotation every 27.3 days. It also spins on its axis at a speed such that the same side of the moon is always facing the Earth. ✓ 33% Part (a) What is the angular momentum of the Moon in its orbit around Earth in kg-m²/s? Lorb=2.87* 1034 Lorb = 2.87E+34 ✓ Correct! 33% Part (b) What is the angular momentum of the Moon in its rotation around its axis in kg-m²/s? Tot = 2.36 * 1029 Lrot = 2.36E+29 ✓ Correct! ▷ 33% Part (c) How many times larger is the orbital angular momentum than the rotational angular momentum for the Moon?
