<h2>Answers:</h2>

The possible effects on the earth will be 1) No light during night 2) No tides

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that tides are caused by the differential gravitational force on the equatorial regions by the moon. So if the Moon escapes from Earth, the main effect would be the lack of tides on Earth The region closer to the Moon experiences more gravitational force than the region on Earth away from the Moon. Other effects will be no more Moon to light up the night sky and no more solar eclipses.

A plate carries a charge of 3.8 UC, while a rod carries a charge of 1.9 C. How many electrons must be transferred from the plate

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$N_{electrons}=Q_{transfered}/q_{electron}=5.94*10^{18}electrons$

Explanation:

The total charge is distributed over the two objects:

$Q_{total}/2=(3.8*10^{-6}C+1.9C)/2=0.9500019C\\$

The plate and the rod must have $Q_{total}/2\\$ . So the charge transferred from the plate to the rod is:

$Q_{transfered}=3.8*10^{-6}C-Q_{total}/2=3.8*10^{-6}C-0.9500019C=-0.9499981C\\$

Number of electrons:

$N_{electrons}=Q_{transfered}/q_{electron}=-0.9499981C/(-1.6*10^{-19}C)=5.94*10^{18}electrons$

What 3 points must an object possess to be considered a planet

Vitek1552 [10]

1. It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun (this means moons can't be considered planets, since they orbit planets)
2. It must have enough mass that its own gravity pulls it into a spheroidal shape.
3. It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (i.e. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit).

The monkey experiment is an example of what?

Semenov [28]

Answer:

D.) Sensory adaptation

Explanation:

Assuming you are talking about the cloth and metal monkey experiment performed in the field of psychology (not physics), the monkey formed an attachment to the cloth mother because it felt closer to it, as it was more appealing to its senses.

500 g of water at 90°C is cooled in a freezer. If all the water is converted to ice, what is the amount of heat released when th

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

356 000 J

Explanation:

Total Energy released

= Energy released when water cools to 0 + Energy released when water is converted to ice at 0

= mcT + ml

= (0.5)(4200)(90-0) + (0.5)(334 000)

= 189 000 J + 167 000 J

= 356 000 J
