### Question 3

#### a. What is the difference between the force in \( F = ma \) (Newton's 2nd law) and \( F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2} \) (Newton’s law of universal gravitation)?

Newton's Second Law of Motion, expressed as \( F = ma \), states that the force \( F \) acting on an object is equal to the mass \( m \) of the object multiplied by its acceleration \( a \).

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, expressed as \( F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2} \), states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points. The formula calculates the gravitational force \( F \) between two masses (\( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \)) separated by a distance \( d \), with \( G \) being the gravitational constant.

#### b. Find the net force on a Planet A of mass \( 3.0 \times 10^{19} \) kg due to the gravitational attraction of both Planet B of mass \( 4.9 \times 10^{20} \) kg and the Sun of mass \( 2.1 \times 10^{30} \) kg, assuming they are at right angles to each other. The distance of Planet A from Planet B is \( 5.0 \times 10^7 \) m and the distance of the Sun from Planet A is \( 5.8 \times 10^6 \) m. \( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \) N·m²/kg².

To solve for the net force:

1. **Force between Planet A and Planet B:**
   \[
   F_{AB} = \frac{G m_A m_B}{d_{AB}^2}
   \]
   where 
   \( m_A = 3.0 \times 10^{19} \) kg, 
   \( m_B = 4.9 \times 10^{20} \) kg, 
   \( d_{AB} = 5.0 \times 10^7 \) m.

   \[
   F_{AB} = \frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 3.
