-
What will I have to know? Yes?
-
Very good. That's all I wanted from you.
-
We'll fill in the blanks but it's v^2 / R,
-
and R is this quarter of a million miles,
-
and v is the orbital velocity.
-
You may not know the orbital velocity of the Moon
-
but you know it goes around every 28 days or something, right?
-
So, velocity is 2πR / 28 days.
-
Put it into seconds, you get some acceleration. Yes?
-
Yes.
-
Right, exactly.

In fact, if it's not a circle
