The orbital speed of Earth about the Sun is 3.0 10 4 m/s and its distance
Question:
The orbital speed of Earth about the Sun is 3.0 × 104 m/s and its distance from the Sun is 1.5 × 1011 m. The mass of Earth is approximately 6.0 × 1024 kg and that of the Sun is 2.0 × 1030 kg. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the Sun on Earth?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
