Answer:
The force exerted by the Sun on Earth is [tex]3.56x10^{22}N[/tex].
Explanation:
The universal law of gravity is defined as:
[tex]F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}[/tex] (1)
Where F is the force, m1 is the mass of the Earth and m2 is the mass of the Sun, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between them.
Then, equation 1 can be used to determine the force exerted by the Sun on Earth.
[tex]F = (6.67x10^{-11}kg.m/s^{2}.m^{2}/kg^{2})\frac{(6.00x10^{24}Kg)(2.00x10^{30}Kg)}{(1.5x10^{11}m)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]F = 3.56x10^{22}Kg.m/s^{2}[/tex]
[tex]F = 3.56x10^{22}N[/tex]
Hence, the force exerted by the Sun on Earth is [tex]3.56x10^{22}N[/tex].
