What is the angular momentum of the moon about the Earth? The mass of the

moon is 7.35 x 10^22 kg, the center-to-center separation of the Earth and the moon

is 3.84 x 10^5 km, and the orbital period of the moon is 27.3 days.

How do you get 3.84 x 10^8?

v = 2 x pi x r/T

L = m x 2 x pi x r x r/ T

L = (7.35 x 10^22 x 2 x 3.14 x 3.84 x 10^8 x 3.84 x 10^8) / (27.3 x 24 x 3600)
L = 2.885 x 10^34 kgm^2/s
