The earth is 1.50×1011mfrom the sun. The earth’s mass is 5.98×1024kg, while the mass of the sun is 1.99×1030kg. What is earth’s acceleration toward the sun?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The earth acceleration towards sun is5.9×10-3m/s2

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

For Newton's gravity law, the expression of gravitational force is

Fg=Gmemsr2

Here meis mass of earth, msmass of sun, G is universal gravitational constant and r is the distance between sun and earth.

The net force acting between sun and earth is equal to gravitational force.

Therefore, from Newton's second law of motion

ae=FGme

Combining the expression of acceleration and expression of gravitational force,

ae=Gmsr2

02

Content Explanation

Substitute the values in the above formed expression

ae=(6.67×10-11N.m2/kg2)(1.99×1030kg)(1.50×1011m)2ae=5.9×10-3m/s2
