The earth is 8 light minutes from the sun and the
speed of light is 3x10 to the power of 8 m/s. Lets assume that the
earths orbit is exactly circular. It's mass is 5.972x10 to the
power of 24kg.
Using the values given above, determine the magnitude of the
gravitational force that the sun exerts on the earth
distance between earth and sun
r = 8 * 60* 3* 10^8 = 1.44* 10^11 m
force
F = GMm / r^2 = 6.67* 10^-11* 5.98* 10^24* 5.972* 10^24 / (1.44* 10^11)^2
F = 1.154* 10^21 N

8. A cosmic-ray proton traveling at half the speed of light (speed of light c 3x10 m/sec) is heading directly towards the center of the Earth in the plane of the Earth's equator. Assume that the Earth's magnetic field is uniform over the planet's equatorial plan with a magnitude of IBI-50.0x10-6 T, extending out a distance d 1.3x107m from the surface of the Earth. Assume that the field is zero at greater distances. Will the cosmic-ray proton hit the Earth?...
A satellite of Earth is moving in a circular orbit with Earth at its center, at a constant speed of 2.00 km/s. a.) How high is the satellite above the surface of the Earth? b.) How long does it take for the satellite to complete one revolution? Helpful info (but not all of it is relevant!): universal gravitational constant G is = 6.674 x 10^-11 m^3/kg s^2 (units may also be expressed as N m^2/kg^2) Mass of Sun = 1.989...

Q1. (i) (ii) (iii) Calculate the centripetal acceleration of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, And the net force exerted on the Earth. What exerts this force on the Earth? Assume that the Earth's orbit is a circle of radius 1.5 X 101 m (iv) (v) Calculate the Gravitational Force between the Earth and the Sun Compare the Gravitational Force to that net force from section (ii) above.
An object of mass m moves at a constant speed v in a circular path of radius r. The force required to produce the centripetal component of acceleration is called the centripetal force and is given by F=mv2/r. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is given by F=GMm/d2, where d is the distance between the centers of the two bodies of masses M and m, and G is a gravitational constant. The speed required for circular motion is v= √(GM/r). Use the...
1 What is the Earth's orbital speed as it orbits the Sun. Take the Earth/Sun distance to be 93 million miles (taking the Earth's orbit to be circular), the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 X 102 kg and the mass of the Sun to be 1.987 X 10*0 kg. Solve this problem using Newton's 2nd law directly 2. A 55.7 kg mass is lifted (at a constant velocity) from the ground to a vertical height of 1275 m....
