Thanks for the help, I realize that when squaring the denominator i was squaring just the ^8 instead of the whole problem and now that i fixed that I got F = 0.0016623433

Is A correct now? when i originally posted i put in 9. something by accident is the 6.38 correct?

Homework Statement It is said that people often behave in unusual ways during a full moon. a) Calculate the gravitational force that the moon would exert on a 50.0-kg student in your physic's class. The moon is 3.84 x 108m from the Earth and has a mass of 7.35 x 1022kg. b) Does the moon...

I do not understand where I would be getting the hypotenuse from. I thought that I already had the adjacent side which would be 28.3 because that is half of the distance he was shot, and then the angle of 40 degrees.

I have drawn a picture but not sure what to do after that. I have the base and the angle labeled but I am not sure what trig function to use.

Homework Statement Emanuel Zacchini, the famous human cannonball of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, was fired out of a cannon with a speed of 24.0 m/s. at an angle of 40.0o to the horizontal. If he landed in a net 56.6 m away at the same height from which he was fired, how long...
