    High School Understanding Gravitational Pull and Its Effects on Humans

    I meant, the constant is smaller compared to the masses. Why do you think I mentioned the value if I didn't know that? And the gravitational acceleration formula is different. This is the gravitational force formula. Yes, but the whole point was to say that the force is negligible, which it is...

    Can a Great Professor Make You Love Physics?

    I hadn't liked physics until I got a good professor. Hopefully, you'll find physics as amazing as I do now. :)

    Factor Theorem Question: Find a and b for P(x) as a factor of T(x)

    But the constant term is b in T(x), we can get q from it. Or can we?

    High School Understanding Gravitational Pull and Its Effects on Humans

    Yes, that is true. Every object that has mass exerts a gravitation force. You can quantify this using the formula, g=(G.m1.m2)/r^2 g is the gravitational force G is the gravitational constant = 6.7x10^-11 m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects you are considering r is the distance between...

    Factor Theorem Question: Find a and b for P(x) as a factor of T(x)

    Homework Statement If the polynomial P(x) = x^2+ax+1 is a factor of T(x)=2x^3-16x+b, find a, b Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Let (px+q) be a factor of P(x), p can possibly be 1 and so can q, according to factor theorem, Hence, factors (x+1) or (x-1) P(1) = 0, substituting I got...
