Answer:
1.
B) The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is stronger than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
Explanation:
Gravitational force is proportional to the products of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.
2.
A) The Moon exerts a stronger tidal force on Earth than the Sun does
Explanation:
the Moon produces a greater tidal force on the Earth than the Sun, even though the Sun exerts a greater gravitational attraction on the earth than that exerted b the moon on the earth.
The Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth is about 175 times stronger when compared to that exerted by the Moon but has a much smaller effect on the tides. This is due to the inverse square law. The Earth's diameter is a tiny fraction of the total distance between the Sun and Earth which means that the difference in gravitational force across the Earth varies by a very small amount. On the other hand, the Moon is much closer than the Sun, thus the difference in gravitational force from the Moon across the Earth is much greater. The Sun has approximately only 44% of tidal influence than that of the Moon.

B, Check with others to make sure.
Explanation:
Answer:
The reading of the experiment made in air is 50 g more than the reading of the measurement made in water.
Explanation:
Knowing that the density of lead is and the volume, we can calculate the true weight of the piece of lead:
When the experiment is done in air, we can discard buoyancy force (due to different densities) made by air because it's negligible and the measured weight is approximately the same as the true weight.
When it is done in water, the effect of buoyancy force (force made by the displaced water) is no longer negligible, so we have to take it into account.
Knowing that the density of water is 1 g per cubic centimeter, and that the volume displaced is equal to the piece of lead (because of its much higher density, the piece of lead sinks), we can know that the buoyancy force made by water is 50 g, opposite to the weight of the lead.
Now that we have the two measurements, we can calculate the difference:
The reading of the experiment made in air is 50 g more than the reading of the measurement made in water.
