Answer:

d) Both the same; the Moon

Explanation:

The force that any body exerts on the other on account of his mass, is just one of the two forces that form an action-reaction pair, according to Newton's 3rd Law.

This law says that both forces are equal and opposite each other, being produced by one body, but acting on the other one, both at the same time.

The difference, regarding the net effect of these forces, rests on the acceleration of both masses, according Newton's 2nd Law.

As the forces are equal each other, the body with smaller mass (in this case the moon) will have a larger acceleration.

Charge: A piece of plastic has a net charge of +2.00 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (

snow_lady [41]

Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge = 6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb charge = 6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

= 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

= 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.

The voltage across the terminals of a 9.0 v battery is 8.5 v when the battery is connected to a 60 ω load. part a what is the ba

snow_lady [41]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

i = the current in the circuit., A
R₁ = the internal resistance of the battery, Ω
R₂ = the resistance of the 60 W load, Ω

Because the resistance across the battery is 8.5 V instead of 9.0 V, therefore
(R₁ )(i A) = 9 - 8.5 = (0.5 V)
R₁*i = 0.5 (10

Also,
R₂*i = 9.5 (2)

Because the power dissipated by R₂ is 60 W, therefore
i²R₂ = 60
From (2), obtain
i*9.5 = 60
i = 6.3158 A

From (1), obtain
6.3158*R₁ = 0.5
R₁ = 0.5/6.3158 = 0.0792 Ω = 0.08 Ω (nearest hundredth)

Answer: 0.08 Ω
