The gravitational force of attraction on Earth due to the Sun and the Moon is \boxed{3.544 \times {{10}^{22}}\,{\text{N}}}.

Further Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction experienced by one body due to the other body is given by the Newton’s law of Gravitation. The newton’s law of Gravitation states that the force experienced by the bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the bodies.

The force experienced by the Earth due to the moon is;

{F_{EM}} = \dfrac{{G{M_E}{M_M}}}{{r_{EM}^2}}

Here, {F_{EM}} is the force experienced by Earth due to moon, {r_{EM}} is the distance between Earth and Moon.

The mass of the Earth is 5.987 \times {10^{24}}\,{\text{kg}}.

The mass of the Moon is 7.35 \times {10^{22}}\,{\text{kg}}.

The distance between the Earth and Moon is 3.84 \times {10^8}\,{\text{m}}.

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\begin{aligned}{F_{EM}}&=\frac{{\left( {6.674 \times {{10}^{ - 11}}} \right)\times\left( {5.987 \times {{10}^{24}}} \right) \times \left( {7.35 \times {{10}^{22}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {3.84 \times {{10}^8}} \right)}^2}}}\\&= \frac{{2.937 \times {{10}^{37}}}}{{1.47 \times {{10}^{17}}}}\\&= 1.986 \times {10^{20}}\,{\text{N}}\\\end{aligned}

The force experienced by the Earth due to the Sun is;

{F_{ES}} =\dfrac{{G{M_E}{M_S}}}{{r_{ES}^2}}

Here,  {F_{ES}} is the force experienced by Earth due to Sun,   is the distance between Earth and Sun.

The mass of the Sun is  1.99 \times {10^{30}}\,{\text{kg}}.

The distance between the Earth and Sun is 1.5 \times {10^{11}}\,{\text{m}}.

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\begin{aligned}{F_{EM}}&= \frac{{\left( {6.674 \times {{10}^{ - 11}}} \right) \times \left( {5.987 \times {{10}^{24}}} \right) \times \left( {1.99 \times {{10}^{30}}\,{\text{kg}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {1.5 \times {{10}^{11}}{\text{m}}}\right)}^2}}}\\&=\frac{{7.929 \times {{10}^{44}}}}{{2.25 \times {{10}^{22}}}}\\&= 3.524 \times {10^{22}}\,{\text{N}}\\\end{aligned}

The net force acting on the Earth is given as:

 {F_{{\text{net}}}} = {F_{EM}} + {F_{ES}}

Substitute the values of forces.

\begin{aligned}{F_{{\text{net}}}}&= 1.986 \times {10^{20}}\,{\text{N}} + 3.524\times {10^{22}}\,{\text{N}}\\&= 3.544 \times {10^{22}}\,{\text{N}} \\\end{aligned}

Thus, the gravitational force of attraction on Earth due to the Sun and the Moon is \boxed{3.544 \times {{10}^{22}}\,{\text{N}}}.

A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit
Alexxandr [17]
By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,

How could two waves on a rope interfere so the rope does not move at all?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

If a crest formed by one wave interferes with a trough formed by the other wave then the rope will not move at all.

Explanation:

Assume a straight rope tied to both ends is at rest. When a wave is created at one end of the rope, it travels to the other end of the rope through formation of alternative crest and trough. Due to these crest and trough the rope shifts up and down.

But when there are two waves travelling through the rope and both have opposite direction (directed towards one another) in such a way that crest formed by one wave is interfering with the trough formed by the other wave then due to this interference the waves will cancel the effects of each other on the rope and rope will be stable.

You see a total eclipse of the sun. Three Saros cycles later, you find yourself at the same location.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. You would not have to travel far to see another total eclipse  .

Explanation:

it is said that the way to predict or know beforehand if there is a lunar or solar eclipse is just to know the what is called the saros which are periods of exactly 223 synodic months and the eclipses are repeated or occurred in the same location every 3 Saros cycles.

The throwing back by a wall or barrier of a sound wave without absorbing<br> it. *<br> 1 point
Semenov [28]

Answer:Reflection

Explanation:

The throwing back of a sound wave without absorbing it is called reflection

In acoustic reflection of sound is termed as echo i.e. sound arrived at the listener after a particular delay depending upon the position of barrier to the observer.

The reflection of sound is used in many devices like megaphone, trumpets, etc. It is also used in auditorium such that the ceiling of the auditorium is curved for multiple reflections of sound so that sound can be reached at every corner of the auditorium.
