Earth is subject not only to the gravitational force of the Moon but also to the gravitational pull of the Sun. However, Earth i

s much farther away from the Sun than it is from the Moon. In fact, the center of Earth is at an average distance of 1.5×1011m from the center of the Sun. Given that the mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030kg, which of the following statements is correct?
A. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is weaker than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
B. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is stronger than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
C. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is of the same order of magnitude of the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

The gravitational force on earth depends on the mass of sun and the distance of sun from earth.

As the mass of sun is much more than the mass of moon, so the gravitational force of sun on earth is much more than the force on earth due to the moon.

The distance does not matter because the mass of sun is much more.

A suspended object A is attracted to a neutral wall. It's also attracted to a positively-charged object B. Which of the followin
olga2289 [7]

There are two particular cases, the first is when Object A is attracted to the neutral wall. This would indicate that the object is not neutral, as there is an attraction.

At the same time we know that Object A is attracted to an object B. And therefore, the load of A must be opposite to that of B. Remember that opposite charges attract each other. If the charge of object B is positive, then the charge of object A will be negative.

Option B is correct: It has a negative charge.

Which does not describe the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom?
Margaret [11]
Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are true.

In choice 'b', I'm not sure what it means when it says that masses
are 'balanced'.  To me, masses are only balanced when they're on
a see-saw, or on opposite ends of a rope that goes over a pulley.

Maybe the statement means that the mass of the nucleus and the
mass of the electron cloud are equal.  This is way false.  It takes
more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of ONE proton or
neutron, and the most complex atom in nature only has 92 electrons
in it.  So there's no way that the masses of the nucleus and the electrons
in one atom could ever be anywhere near equal.
