Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean's Theorem for a right triangle. Your best bet when learning/visualizing word problems is to draw a picture, then learn how to visualize in your head over time.

$3^2+x^2=12^2\\9+x^2=144\\x=\sqrt{135}$

The radical can be further simplified because 135 is the product of 9 and 15. 9 has a perfect root of 3.

$x=3\sqrt{15}$ meters or 11.62 meters

Can anyone help me out in my homework. I would love to talk about these problems

katen-ka-za [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

(b) If $F_G = m_1g,$ then

$m_1g = G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Note that $m_1$ cancel out so we get

$g = G\dfrac{m_2}{r^2}$

Solving for $m_2,$ we get

$m_2 = \dfrac{gr^2}{G}$

$F_G = G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{(2r)^2} = \dfrac{1}{4}\left(G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\right)$
