In -2^2 since the negative sign is not in parentheses you would solve it as 2×2=4 and then have the negative sign so it would be -4. With the parentheses you are saying that the term you are squaring is (-2) and two negatives make a positive so it would be (-2)×(-2)= 4.

If you were a physicist trying to determine the gravitational constant and you were able to measure the force of gravity exerted
Llana [10]
Even though there is no formula displayed, the usual formula for gravitational force is:
F = G * (mass 1 * mass 2) / distance^2

F = G * (m1 * m2) / d^2

Since we want to measure the value of "G" then the formula is rewritten as

G = F * d^2 / (m1 * m2)
