Earth is subject not only to the gravitational force of the moon but also to the gravitational pull of the sun. however, earth is much farther away from the sun than it is from the moon. in fact, the center of earth is at an average distance of 1.5×1011m from the center of the sun. given that the mass of the sun is 1.99×1030kg, which of the following statements is correct?

a. the force exerted on earth by the sun is weaker than the corresponding force exerted by the moon.
b. the force exerted on earth by the sun is stronger than the corresponding force exerted by the moon.
c. the force exerted on earth by the sun is of the same order of magnitude of the corresponding force exerted by the moon.

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?
