Answer: 900
Explanation: Force equals mass x acceleration F=M×A
Answer:
The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:
"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"
In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).
In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
Both verbs come from Olde English.
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.
"Waxing" = growing
For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.
"Waning" = shrinking
For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.
