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}}}.

mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth

A 2 nC point charge is at the origin, and a second 5 nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 8 m. Find the electric field (magni
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The magnitude of  the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.

Explanation:

Given that,

Point charge at origin = 2 nC

Second charge = 5 nC

Distance at x axis = 8 m

We need to calculate the electric field at the point x = 2 m

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}(\dfrac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^2}+\dfrac{q_{2}}{r_{2}^2})

Put the value into the formula

E=9\times10^{9}\times(\dfrac{2\times10^{-9}}{2^2}+\dfrac{5\times10^{-9}}{(8-2)^2})

E=5.75\ N/C

The direction is toward positive x- axis.

Hence, The magnitude of  the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.

sergey [27]
The just-world phenomenon is the belief that everything that happens to an individual is due to the individual's actions; in other words, all good and all bad that an individual encounters in the world is deserved by that person. This leads to a victim being blamed with the logic that "they had it coming" and someone who encounters good fortune being praised with "they earned it". Therefore, in this scenario, people will assume that Rose's inheritance is well deserved.<span />
