Solve the problem.
-The four Galilean moons of Jupiter have orbital periods and mean distances from Jupiter given by the following table. $$\begin{array} { l | c | c }
& \text { Distance } ( \mathrm { km } ) & \text { Period (Earth hours) } \
\hline \text { Io } & 4.214 \times 10 ^ { 5 } & 42.460 \
\text { Europa } & 6.709 \times 10 ^ { 5 } & 85.243 \
\text { Ganymeade } & 1.070 \times 10 ^ { 6 } & 171.709 \
\text { Callisto } & 1.883 \times 10 ^ { 6 } & 400.536
\end{array}$$ Find the linear speed of each moon. Which is the fastest (in terms of linear speed)?
