Biography

I am currently the Science and Mathematics tutor for an online blended 1-12 school within the Harrisburg City School District. I have a Bachelor's Degree in General Science as well as a Minor in Mathematics from the Pennsylvania State University where I also tutored in subjects including, but not limited to, multivariable calculus, differential equations, probability, statistics and algebra. I come from a family of educators and I love not only teaching about math and science but trying to inspire excitement and enthusiasm towards both subjects.

The Force Exerted on the Moon In FIGURE $5-37$ we show the Earth,
Moon, and Sun (not to scale) in their relative positions at the
time when the Moon is in its third-quarter phase. Though few
people realize it, the force exerted on the Moon by the Sun is
actually greater than the force exerted on the Moon by the
Earth. In fact, the force exerted on the Moon by the Sun has a magnitude of $F_{\mathrm{sM}}=4.34 \times 10^{20} \mathrm{N},$ whereas the force exerted by
the Earth has a magnitude of only $F_{\mathrm{EM}}=1.98 \times 10^{20} \mathrm{N}$ . These
forces are indicated to scale in Figure $5-37 .$ Find (a) the direction
and (b) the magnitude of the net force acting on the Moon.
(c) Given that the mass of the Moon is $M_{M}=7.35 \times 10^{22} \mathrm{kg}$ ,
find the magnitude of its acceleration at the time of the third-
quarter phase.

BIO Brain Growth A newborn baby's brain grows rapidly. In fact,
it has been found to increase in mass by about 1.6 mg per minute.
(a) How much does the brain's weight increase in one day? (b) How
much time does it take for the brain's weight to increase by 0.15 $\mathrm{N} ?$

During an episode of turbulence in an airplane you feel 190 $\mathrm{N}$
heavier than usual. If your mass is $78 \mathrm{kg},$ what are the magnitude
and direction of the airplane's acceleration?
