If our solar system's Sun was half the mass as it is now, what would happen to the orbit of the Earth

Physics

Essentially, an increase in mass means an increase in gravity, while a decrease in mass means a decrease in gravity. So if the Sun spontaneously lost half its mass (gasp, shudder, the horror!) then its gravitational pull on Earth would lessen as well, ultimately changing the very nature of our orbit around the Sun.
Thank You!

dalvyx [7]

The best method to separates mixture of salt and water is evaporation. Take a small sample of mixture in a china dish. Heat it till all water evaporate. The residual remain is salt. Josh should use this method to separate salt from water.

Whats the force of gravitation of a 10kg rock and 100kg boulder which are 5 meters apart​
spayn [35]

Answer:

F = 2.6692 x 10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the rock, m = 10 kg

The mass of the boulder, M = 100 kg

The distance between them, d = 5 m

The gravitational force between the two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It is given by the formula

                                   <em> F = GMm/d²  newton</em>

Where,

                                 G - Universal gravitational constant

Substituting the given values,

                                 F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 100 x 10 / 5²

                                 F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N

Hence, the force between the two bodies is, F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N
