<h2>Answers:</h2>

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

<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.

Which formula describes Newton’s second law of motion?
Allushta [10]
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
