Answer:
<em>a) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em>b) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Mass of the sun M = 2 x 10^30 kg
mass of the Earth m = 6 x 10^24 kg
Distance between the sun and the Earth R = 1.5 x 10^11 m
From Newton's law,
F = 
where F is the gravitational force between the sun and the Earth
G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2
m is the mass of the Earth
M is the mass of the sun
R is the distance between the sun and the Earth.
Substituting values, we have
F =
= <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
<em></em>
A) The force exerted by the sun on the Earth is equal to the force exerted by the Earth on the Sun also, and the force is equal to <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Sun = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
From, the given information: we are not given any value for the mass, the proportionality constant and the distance
Assuming that:
the mass = 5 kg and the proportionality constant = 50 kg
the distance of the mass above the ground x(t) = 1000 m
Let's recall that:

Similarly, The equation of mption:

replacing our assumed values:
where 



So, when the object hits the ground when x(t) = 1000
Then from above derived equation:


By diregarding 

1000 + 0.981 = 0.981 t
1000.981 = 0.981 t
t = 1000.981/0.981
t = 1020.36 sec
Answer:
Kepler's First Law: each planet's orbit about the Sun is an ellipse. The Sun's center is always located at one focus of the orbital ellipse. The Sun is at one focus. The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, meaning that the planet to Sun distance is constantly changing as the planet goes around its orbit.
