Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around predicting the acceleration due to gravity on other planets, focusing on gathering secondary information relevant to this topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the request for assistance in completing homework, with some suggesting that the original poster should explore the Law of Universal Gravitation and planetary dimensions as a starting point.

Discussion Status

The conversation is ongoing, with participants emphasizing the importance of engaging with the material rather than simply providing answers. Some guidance has been offered regarding potential resources to consider.

Contextual Notes

There is a clear expectation that participants should not complete homework for others, and the original poster's request is framed within the constraints of needing brief information.

can u do my HW for me? please...

hi guys
whats up
i was just wondering if u could do my HW for me

Gather secondry information to predict the value of acceliration due to gravity on other planets.
(it has to be verry brief) thanks in advance
cheers :smile:

No. We will not do your homework for you.
 
No, we won't do your homework for you.

I can give you a hint where to look, though.

Look up the Law of Universal Gravitation, and the dimensions of the planets. That is all the information you'll need.
 
Actually, the answer to your question is "Yes, we can do your homework for you".

But we WON'T because it wouldn't do you any good to have someone else do it for you. If you post what you have tried to do, we may give some suggestions.
