Answer:

Force of sun on earth can be written:

F = G M m / R^2

Centripetal force on earth can be written:

F= m w^2 R

Equating these:

G M / R^2 = w^2 R

Or w^2 = G (M / R^3)

Since no/ days per year is proportional to w (time for 1 revolution)

Increasing M (mass of sun) would increase w or decrease length of year

Increasing the mean radius R would decrease w or increase length of year

Usimov [2.4K]

Thank you for posting your question here. The total distance traveled by the truck during the 3.2 seconds interval is 83 m. Below is the solution:

d = vit + 1/2 at^2
d = (22m/ s) (3.2s) + 1/2 (2.4m/ s^2) (3.2s)^2
d = 83 m
Hope the answer helps.

$Given:\\T=29.46y\approx 9.29\cdot 10^8s\\M_S\approx2.0\cdot 10^{30}kg\\G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} \frac{m^3}{kg\cdot s^2} \\\\Find:\\R=?\\\\Solution:\\\\F_g= G\frac{mM_s}{R^2} \\\\F_c= \frac{mv^2}{R} \\\\F_g=F_c\\\\G\frac{mM_s}{R^2}=\frac{mv^2}{R} \Rightarrow G\frac{M_s}{R^2}=\frac{v^2}{R}\\\\v=\omega r\\\\G\frac{M_s}{R^2}= \frac{\omega^2R^2}{R}\Rightarrow G\frac{M_s}{R^2}=\omega^2R \\\\\omega= \frac{2 \pi }{T} \\\\G\frac{M_s}{R^3}= \frac{4 \pi ^2}{T^2}$

$GM_ST^2=4 \pi ^2R^3\Rightarrow R= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{GM_ST^2}{4 \pi ^2} }\\\\\\R= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{6.67\cdot 10^{-11} \frac{m^3}{kg\cdot s^2}\cdot2.0\cdot 10^{30}kg( 9.29\cdot 10^8s)^2}{4\cdot 3.14^2} } \approx 1.42\cdot 10^{12}m$
