Determine the force the sun exerts on an object with a mass of 80.0 kg if that object is on the earth. what is the force exerted by the moon on the same object? what is the force the earth exerts on it?

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation states that the force exerted between two bodies and separated a certain distance, is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance, that is:

Here G is the universal gravitational constant.

So, the force exerted by the sun is:

The force exerted by the moon is:

The force exerted by the earth is given by:

the results is a decrease in air temperature with an increase of altitude.

explanation:

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
