The mass of the moon and earth is 7.4 x 10^22kg and 5.98 x 10^24kg respectively. The earth-moon distance R is 3.8 x 10^8m. What is the acceleration of the moon towards Earth? What is the speed of the moon as it orbits the Earth? (Assume its motion is circular.)

The mass of the moon is 7.3 × 10^22 kg, and its radius is 1700 km. If a spaceship passing the moon dropped an item with a speed of 500 m/s from 300 km above the surface, how fast, in m/s, will it be moving when it hits the surface?
