Question:

Assume that Earth's orbit around the Sun is a perfect circle. Earth's inertia is \(5.97 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~kg}\), the radius of its orbit is \(1.50 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~m}\), and its orbital period is 365. 26 days.

(a) What is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration around the Sun?

(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force necessary to cause this acceleration?
