The sun is bigger than the earth, therefore it has more gravitational force than the earth.

Answer:

The force remains same.

Explanation:

Let the mass of sun is M and the mass of earth is m. The distance between them is d.

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Thus, the force exerted by the sun on earth is equal to the force exerted by the earth on sun are same which is given by

F = G\frac{M\times m}{d^{2}}

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed of skier without parachute

= √ 2gh

= √ 2 x 9.8 x 35

= 26.2 m / s

Speed of skier with parachute

net force downwards

mg - 200

= 60 x 9.8 -200

= 388 N

acceleration = 388 / 60

a = 6.47 m / s

v = √ 2ah

= √ 2 x 6.47 x 35

= 21.28 m / s

What will one see during an annular eclipse?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Partial eclipse, Annular eclipse, Total Eclipse and Hybrid Eclipse are the four different types of the eclipses. When the Sun and Moon are exactly in line with the Earth, the annular eclipse occurs. The new moon is invisible from the earth and it is silhouetted against the sun, this can only be seen in annular eclipse. Annular word means ring shaped, we can see a dark ring of fire in annular eclipse. It has five different stages that are first contact, second contact, maximum eclipse, third contact and 4th contact.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

310 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 8.0 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (8.0 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (8.0 s)²

Δy = -313.6

Rounded to two significant figures, the object fell 310 meters.
