What would happen to the moon if earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?

There are two equal forces of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
One force pulls the Moon toward the Earth.
The other force pulls the Earth toward the Moon.

If only this gravity suddenly switched off, then the moon would
continue to orbit the Sun, very much as it does now.

If ALL gravity suddenly switched off, then . . .

-- the Moon would stop orbiting the Earth and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- the Earth would stop orbiting the Sun and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- all the gases surrounding the Earth ... which we call "air" ... would
start drifting away, and expanding into a giant cloud of gas, and stop
being an atmosphere;

-- the Sun would completely fall apart, expand into a giant cloud of gas,
and stop being a star.

On Planet Y, which has no air, a dropped object falls 9 m in 3 seconds. What is g, the acceleration due to gravity, on that plan
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Explanation:

Recall the kinematic formula for displacement under the action of a constant acceleration "a":

yf - yi = 1/2 a  t^2

using the information provided this equation becomes:

9 = 1/2 a (3)^2

solve for a:

9 * 2 / 9 = a

then a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Help please! Will give brainliest to first correct answer!
Olegator [25]

Answer:

1) Addition of a catalyst

2) To change the reaction rate of slope B to look like slope A, simply add a catalyst to speed up the rate of reaction, giving you a higher amount of products in a shorter amount of time (line A)

Explanation:

1 and 2)Two things can alter the rate of a reaction, either the addition of a catylist which will not alter the composition of the products or reactants, but will accelerate the reaction time, or an increase in temperature will also increase the rate at which a reaction will occur.

You could choose temperature also and have the same result, it's your choice both are correct, but catalyst is the easiest.

A busy chipmunk runs back and forth along a straight line of acorns that has been set out between his burrow and a nearby tree.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in the velocity per time

a = change in velocity/time

a = ∆v/t

average acceleration a = (v2 -v1)/t. ....1

Given;

Final velocity v2 = 1.63m/s

Initial velocity v1 = -1.15ms

time taken t = 2.11s

Substituting into eqn 1

a = [1.63 - (-1.15)]/2.11

a = (1.63+1.15)/2.11

a = 2.78/2.11

a = 1.32m/s2

Therefore, the average acceleration is 1.32m/s2
