Answer:
C. 
Explanation:
Let initial charges on both spheres be,

When the sphere C is touched by A, the final charges on both will be,
#Now, when C is touched by B, the final charges on both of them will be:

Now the force between A and B is calculated as:

Hence the electrostatic force becomes 3F/8
Answer:
The forces that do non-zero work on the block are gravity and normal reaction force
Explanation:
Answer: d. I or II
Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.
Tension or Force (
) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.
The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:

So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:
1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;
2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;
Then, ways to increase the wave speed is
I. Using the same string but increasing tension
II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.
