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}}}.

You are asked to design a spring that will give a 1020 kg satellite a speed of 2.25 m/s relative to an orbiting space shuttle. Y
julsineya [31]

Answer:

(a) 2.45×10⁵ N/m

(b) 0.204 m

Explanation:

Here we have that to have a velocity of 2.25 m/s then the relationship between the elastic potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the rocket must be

Elastic potential energy of the spring =  Kinetic energy of the rocket

\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where:

k = Force constant of the spring

x = Extension of the spring

m = Mass of the rocket

v =  Velocity of the rocket

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times   1020 \times 2.25^2

or

kx^2 =  1020 \times 2.25^2 = 10,226.25\\So \ that \ the \ force \ on \ the \ satellite\ kx = \frac{10226.25}{x}

(b) Since the maximum acceleration is given as 5.00×g we have

Maximum acceleration = 5.00 × 9.81 = 49.05 m/s²

Hence the force on the rocket is then;

Force = m×a = 1020 × 49.05 = ‭50,031 N

kx = \frac{10226.25}{x} = 50031 \ N

Therefore,

x = \frac{10226.25}{ 50031} = 0.204 \ m

(a) From which

k = \frac{10226.25}{x^2} = \frac{50031}{x} = \frac{50031}{0.204} = 244,772.13 \ N/m or

Force constant of the spring, k = 2.45×10⁵ N/m.
