Each of two identical objects carries a net charge. The objects are made from conducting material. One of them is attracted to a

positively charged ebonite rod, and the other is repelled by the rod. After the objects are touched together, it is found that they are each repelled by the rod. What can be concluded about the initial charges on the objects?
a) initially, both objects are positive, with both charges having the same magnitude.
b) Initially both objects are negative, with both charges having the same magnitude.
c) Initially one object is positive and one is negative, with the positive charge having a greater magnitude than the negative charge.
d) Initially one object is positive and one is negative, with the negative charge having a greater magnitude than the positive charge.

Answer:

It can be concluded that:

c) Initially one object is positive and one is negative, with the positive charge having a greater magnitude than the negative charge.

Explanation:

There is the property of charges by virtue of which like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

Given that,

Initially, one of the object is attracted to positively charged ebonite rod, therefore, it must have negative charge initially and the other is repelled by the rod, therefore, it must have positive charge initially.

When the two objects touched together, there is a redistribution of charges on them, such that, the net charge on both the objects distributes equally on both.

Since, it is found that they are each repelled by the rod after the objects touched each other, it means they both acquire positive charges.

Both the objects acquire positive charge implies that the net charge on the two objects, i.e., the sum of charges on the two objects, must be positive before they were touched which means that the object with the positive charge had charge greater in magnitude.

So the correct conclusion is:

c) Initially one object is positive and one is negative, with the positive charge having a greater magnitude than the negative charge.

How much heat is required to convert 0.3 kilogram of ice at 0°C to water at the same temperature
Grace [21]

Answer:

100,200J of heat is required to convert 0.3kg of ice of 0°C to water at same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat = mass * lf

Latent heat of fusion (lf) of water is 334J/g

Heat = 300g * 334 J/g

Heat = 100,200J of heat

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a.) the speed at the bottom is greater for the steeperhill

Explanation:

since the energy at the bottom of the steeper hilis greater

mgh =\frac{1}{mv^2}

As we can see from above that v is higher when h ishigher.

The electrical resistance of an element in a platinum resistance thermometer at 100°c, 0°c and room temperature are 75.00Ω, 63.0
Dominik [7]

Answer:

16.6 °C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Temperature at upper fixed point (Tᵤ) = 100 °C

Resistance at upper fixed point (Rᵤ) = 75 Ω

Temperature at lower fixed point (Tₗ) = 0 °C

Resistance at lower fixed point (Rₗ) = 63.00Ω

Resistance at room temperature (R) = 64.992 Ω

Room temperature (T) =?

T – Tₗ / Tᵤ – Tₗ = R – Rₗ / Rᵤ – Rₗ

T – 0 / 100 – 0 = 64.992 – 63  / 75 – 63

T / 100 = 1.992 / 12

Cross multiply

T × 12 = 100 × 1.992

T × 12 = 199.2

Divide both side by 12

T = 199.2 / 12

T = 16.6 °C

Thus, the room temperature is 16.6 °C
