The Moon's mass is 7.34x10^22 kg, and it is 3.8x10^8 m away from Earth. Earth's mass is 5.97x10^24 kg.
(a) Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between Earth and the Moon.
I already did that. It's 2.01e+20.
(b) Find Earth's gravitational field at the Moon.
This is the part I'm...
An airplane flies due north at 220 km/h relative to the air. There is a wind blowing at 55 km/h to the northeast relative to the ground. What are the plane's speed and direction relative to the ground?
I started by using the law of Cosines.
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccos(a)
That's the only thing...
A pitched ball is hit by a batter at a 40° angle and just clears the outfield fence, 96 m away. If the fence is at the same height as the pitch, find the velocity of the ball when it left the bat. Ignore air resistance. Velocity at 40°?
Honestly I don't know how to do this. I have a whole...
