Question
A 10,000kg space ship is orbiting the moon with a radius of 25km from the ship to the center of the moon. It’s tangential speed is 125m/s. What is the ships centripetal acceleration?
Is this the correct set-up for this problem.
ac=10,000kg(125m/s)2/25,000m
True or False?

Answer:
False
Explanation:
ac = v^2/r
acceleration is not dependent on the mass of the orbiting object.
