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.

The intensity of a polarized electromagnetic wave is 12 w/m^2. part a) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=0∘ with the plane of polarization? part b) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=30∘ with the plane of polarization? part c) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=45∘ with the plane of polarization? part d) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=60∘ with the plane of polarization? part e) what will be the intensity after passing through a polarizing filter whose axis makes the angle θ=90∘ with the plane of polarization?
