You expect us to do your homework for you??



No, more like making sure that I have the right answers. This one of the hardest things to grasp that I have ever done.
The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

How did you get #18. This is my method, and I am getting a different answer.

F=G((m1*m2)/r^2)
Where G=6.673*10^-11

m1=7.2kg
m2=.38kg
radius is measured from the center of both spheres. so combine the radii, and then square. Which = (.11m + .028m)^2 = .019

Overall max force that I get is 9.59*10^-9N

IS this correct, or am I waaaaayyyyy off?

The answers are 8.16ms, 3.07x10^4 N, and 1.3x10^-9 N



Wait a minute, can't you use averages here? If so...

#4 F=ma and a=v/t

F=ma: a=490,000/5= 98,000 m/s^2

a=v/t: t=4000/98,000=0.0408 sec.= 40.8ms

#14 F=ma and a=v/t

a=v/t: a=220/0.0065=33846.2 m/s^2

F=ma: F=41*33846.2= 1.39E6 N

how well would this approach work with my finance class?



I dont know, but I think that there are a lot of talented people on here who like to do stuff like this for fun. I can't think of any good reason for this physics stuff. But, there are people who love it. Finance is probably the same way. Give it a try, see what happens. Hopefully, this actually helps my grade.
