Whenever two Apollo astronauts were on the surface of the Moon, a third astronaut orbited the Moon. Assume the orbit to be circular and 477 km above the surface of the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.04 m/s2. The radius of the Moon is 1.70 x 10 m. (a) Determine the astronaut's orbital speed. m/s (b) Determine the period of the orbit.

Isabella boarded a ferris wheel. She traveled from the 6 o clock position, the radius being 22 yards. She traveled counter clockwise but suddendly stopped before reaching the 12 o clock position. She identified that her position was 21 yards above the vertical midline of the ferris wheel. The backup batteries of the ferris wheel kicked in and pushed her an additional 120 degrees. Does Isabella reach the 9 o clock position? Justify your answer
