Given the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.49*10^11m with Me = 5.97*10^24kg and Msolar = 1.99*10^30, what is the gravitational force between the Earth and Sun?

Using F = Gm1m2/r^2 and substituting in the values, we get F = 3.57*10^22N.

Give the definition simple harmonic motion and write down the defining equation for such motion stating the meaning of any symbols involved.

Simple harmonic motion is defined as a form of periodic motion in which a point or body oscillates in such a way that the acceleration of the point or body is directly proportional to its displacement fro...
