Answer to Question #312483 in Physics for Marimar

Question

What is the force of the gravity that is exerted on the Earth by the sun? The mass of the sun and earth are 1.99 × 10^30kg and 5.97×10^24kg respectively. The distance between the earth and tye sun is 1.496 × 10 ^11 m.

Answer 1

The force of the gravity

$$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$$

$$F=6.67*10^{-11}*\frac{1.99*10^{30}*5.97*10^{24}}{(1.496*10^{11})^2}=3.36*10^{22}\:\rm N$$
