Again I think you did not give the right constants. So I would use the correct constants for mass of moon and distance from earth to moon.

<span>The formula for force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe
F  =  GMm / r^2.      (Newton's Universal law of Gravitation).

G = Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11  Nm^2 / kg^2.
M = Mass of Earth. = 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
m = mass of moon = 7.34 x 10^22  kg.
r = distance apart, between centers = in this case it is the distance from Earth to the Moon
   = 3.8 x 10^8 m.

(Sorry I could not assume with the values you gave, they are wrong, and if we use them we would be insulting Physics).


So F = ((6.67 * 10 ^ -11)*(5.97 x 10^24)*(7.34 * 10^22)) / (3.8 x 10^8)^2.
  Punch it all up in your calculator.
 
I used a Casio 991 calculator, it should be one of the best in the world.Really lovely calculator, that has helped me a lot in computations like this. I am thankful for the Calculator.

F = 2.0240 * 10^ 20 N.
So that's our answer.
Hurray!!</span>

Using the gravity equation: force of gravity = (G*mass of object 1*mass of object 2)/distance between the objects^2, we can plug in the masses of the objects (5.97x10^24kg for earth, and 7.34x10^22kg for the moon) and the distance between the objects (3.8x10^8metres) and (6.67x10^-11 gravitational constant) for G, we get (6.67x10^-11*5.97x10^24*7.34^22)/(3.8x10^8)^2 which equals =2.02x10^20 which is the force of gravity

Although he did not present a mechanism, what were the key points of Alfred Wegener’s proposal for the concept of continental dr
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.

One of the longer sides of a kite is 39 feet. one of the shorter sides is 25 feet. half the length of the shorter diagonal is 15
pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.
