Answer:

3.46 x 10^8 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the earth be r, total distance from earth to moon be d,

then distance from the moon to the point of equal gravity= d -r.

Mass of the earth, M_E = 598 x 10^22 kg

Mass of the moon, M_m= 7.36 x 10^22 kg

Distance of the mood from the earth, d = 3.85 x 10^8 m

Force of gravity exerted on a mass, m by the earth,

             F_E = G. M_E×m/r^2

Force of gravity exerted on a mass, m by the moon,

              F_m = G×M_m×m/(d-r)^2

These are equal,  So

 G×M_E.m/r^2 =G×M_m.m/(d-r)^2

     [r/(d - r)]^2=  M_E/M_m

    = 598/7.36 = 81.25

      r/(d - r) = √81.25 = 9.014

      9.014×(d - r) = r

    10.014.r = 9.014 x 3.85 x 108

Hence,    r= 9.014 x 3.85 x 108 /10.014

             = 3.46 x 10^8 m

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Group A did not work as hard or as well as group B and would be less likely to spontaneously work on similar puzzles in the future.

Explanation:

Over justification, effect is a psychological phenomenon where people tend to lose interest in an activity when intrinsic motivation is replaced by extrinsic rewards. person not only lose interest in an activity but less likely to engage in that activity. people tend to see that external reward as bribe to do that activity which was earlier they were doing for internal appeasement.

As per the question Group A is externally motivated to do work, it would unlikely that they engage in such a similar activity in the future.

Part 1 - Provide two examples of a time in which you were motivated. Each example needs to reflect one of the following motivati
lianna [129]

Explanation:

1.The first example that I can cite that explains "the theory of arousal" is when I had my physiological needs covered but I did not have a job, I felt that I needed to work, achieve personal goals

That is why, as this theory explains very well:

Humans seek an optimal level of arousal:

- Too low = boredom

- Too high = stress.

The second example has to do with the need to work and the type of work we do; for example if I need money to survive and help my family, I know I have to work, but if I study a career such as teaching that allows me to satisfy that need and at the same time feel comfortable and fulfilled with my work, that is a great incentive ; here the "impulse reduction theory" is fulfilled, which explains the following:

"When the need and an incentive come together, they make us feel

powerfully driven towards satisfaction "

2.When examining these two examples and comparing the two theories exposed we see that there is a great relationship; Although at first it is necessary to satisfy basic needs, then comes the satisfaction of social, security and self-realization needs as set out in the Maslow pyramid.
