The correct Answer is:
To find the binding energy of the Sun-Earth system, we can use the formula for gravitational binding energy, which is given by: \[ E = -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r} \] Where: - \(E\) is the binding energy, - \(G\) is the gravitational constant (\(6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2\)), - \(M\) is the mass of the Sun (\(1 \times 10^{30} \, \text{kg}\)), - \(m\) is the mass of the Earth (\(6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}\)), - \(r\) is the distance between the Sun and the Earth (\(1.5 \times 10^{11} \, \text{m}\)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the values**: - Gravitational constant, \(G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2\) - Mass of the Sun, \(M = 1 \times 10^{30} \, \text{kg}\) - Mass of the Earth, \(m = 6 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}\) - Distance between Sun and Earth, \(r = 1.5 \times 10^{11} \, \text{m}\) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: \[ E = -\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11}) \cdot (1 \times 10^{30}) \cdot (6 \times 10^{24})}{1.5 \times 10^{11}} \] 3. **Calculate the numerator**: \[ \text{Numerator} = (6.67 \times 10^{-11}) \cdot (1 \times 10^{30}) \cdot (6 \times 10^{24}) = 6.67 \times 6 \times 10^{30 + 24 - 11} = 40.02 \times 10^{43} \] 4. **Calculate the denominator**: \[ \text{Denominator} = 1.5 \times 10^{11} \] 5. **Now divide the numerator by the denominator**: \[ E = -\frac{40.02 \times 10^{43}}{1.5 \times 10^{11}} = -26.68 \times 10^{32} \, \text{J} \] 6. **Convert to scientific notation**: \[ E \approx -2.67 \times 10^{33} \, \text{J} \] 7. **Final answer**: The binding energy for the Sun-Earth system is approximately \(2.67 \times 10^{33} \, \text{J}\). ### Conclusion: The binding energy for the Sun-Earth system is \(2.67 \times 10^{33} \, \text{J}\).

To find the binding energy of the Sun-Earth system, we can use the formula for gravitational binding energy, which is given by: \[ E = -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r} \] Where: - \(E\) is the binding energy, ...
