    Space probe, planet, and sun .

    Okay, this is what I got, and I hope it's right: F(13)=F(23) GM1M3/(R13^2)=GM2M3/(R23^2) M1/(R13^2)=M2/(R23^2) 2x10^30/(1.4x10^12^2)=M2/(1.0x10^11^2) M2= 1.02x10^28 Was it okay to assume the distance from the probe to the sun is the distance from the planet to the sun- the...

    Space probe, planet, and sun .

    I must really be dense, I've been looking at this screen for 15 min, I still don't get it. :frown:

    Space probe, planet, and sun .

    F1,2=[(G *m1*m2)/(r1,2^2)]*r1,2 That's what it says in my book, it looks weird when you type it. But I tried this problem another way, and tell me what you think: I used t^2=Cr^3 compared to the Earth to get the period of the planet which I got was 6.53x10^15. Then I used that in...

    Space probe, planet, and sun .

    Space probe, planet, and sun... Correcting test again, and I don't know where to start on this problem: A space prob lies along a line between a planet and the sun so that the sun's gravitational pull on the probe balances the planets pull. The distance of the probe from the planet is 1.0...

    What is the student's speed at the bottom of the inclined plane?

    I'm so sorry, I somehow left out the mass, it was given to be 120kg... So sorry Also that is 10m down the slide,.

    What is the student's speed at the bottom of the inclined plane?

    Hi, everyone...we just got a test back and I'm correcting my problems so I have the right answers for the final... An inert physics student slides down a plane inclined at 20 degrees above the horizontal. He feels a constant retarding friction force of 100 N as he slides 10 m down the plane...

    How Accurate Are These Chemistry Calculation Methods?

    One more question: 2Al+3FeO=3Fe+Al2O3 When I am doing Mass to Mass ratio, I would do #g Al/ molecular weight Al x 2 for example if I am reacting 468g Al, I put it over 54g Al, not just 27. I hope that makes sense.

    How Accurate Are These Chemistry Calculation Methods?

    Consider this eq, It is balanced: KCN+HCl=KCl+HCN If a sample of 0.140g of KCN is treated with an excess of HCl, calculate the amount of HCN formed, in grams: I just want to know if I did this right 0.140g KCN/65g KCN = x/27g HCN and I got .058 g Another probem: Ammonium Nitrate...

    Help Solve Golf Launch Speed Problem w/o Initial Velocity or Time

    Game Guru , I am correcting a test I have already had so I have it to study, and your answer is what I put on the test and got a 0/15...so it's not that. This is what I'm thinking, I use the Range formula: range=initial velocity squared divided by g, and that multiplied by sin 2 theta...

    Help Solve Golf Launch Speed Problem w/o Initial Velocity or Time

    Help with a problem! This problem seems pretty easy but for the life of me I cannot get it, I think it's confusing me because I don't have a intial velocity or a time...help! A golfer hurls his golf club across the green. Launched at a angle 30 degrees above the horizontal, the club lands 50...
