Calculate the moon\''s radial acceleration

Reference no: EM13541771

An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 19.0 days on average to complete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.060 × 105 km and the planet has a radius of 4475 km, calculate the moon\'s radial acceleration.
