Show that the tides on the Earth are produced by the Moon and not the Sun by calculating the force exerted on the near side, middle of the planet, and far side by each (divide up the earth into 1/3rds). What did you notice?

The Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates. If the Moon had an atmosphere that contained ions, these charged particles would experience a force due to their motion in the magnetic field of Earth causing a charge separation over the Moon. If this happened, which side of the Moon (the far side or the near side) would be positively charged? (This does not actually happen with our moon, but it does happen with one of...

1. On occasion, the Earth-Moon-Sun system is aligned such that the Earth or Moon casts a shadow partially or directly on the other body. These events are called eclipses. A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is in a position where it blocks sunlight from getting to Earth. A. Draw a Sun-Earth-Moon diagram for each kind of eclipse (lunar and solar). Make sure you draw your diagrams large...

Calculate (separately) the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Moon, and that the Sun exerts on the Moon. Please take the masses and distances from the Appendix section of your textbook. When you compare these two forces, which body should the Moon orbit around do you think? Explain the reason if you find a contradiction between what you find from your calculation and what you observe.
