Answer:

a. The spheres will attract each other.

Explanation:

When two conducting spheres are connected by a conducting wire and a negatively charged rod is brought near it then this will induce opposite (positive) charge at the nearest point on the sphere and by the conservation of charges there will also be equal amount of negative charge on the farthest end of this conducting system this is called induced polarization.

  • When the conducting wire which joins them is cut while the charged rod is still in proximity to of one of the metallic sphere then there will be physical separation of the two equal and unlike charges on the spheres which will not get any path to flow back and neutralize.
  • Hence the two spheres will experience some amount of electrostatic force between them.

What is the answer to this question?

Acceleration is a change in *speed* over time. In this case, the speed of the car increased by 90 km/hr in 6 s, giving it a rate of 90 km/hr/6s, or 15 km/hr/s. We’re asked for the acceleration in m/s^2, though, so we’ll need to do a few conversions to get our units straight.

There are 1000 m in 1 km, 60 min, or 60 * 60 = 3600 s in 1 hr, so we can change our rate to:

(15 x 1000)m/3600s/s, or (15 x 1000)m/3600 s^2

We can reduce this to:

(15 x 10)m/36 s^2 = 150 m/36 s^2

Which, dividing numerator and denominator by 36, gets us a final answer of roughly 4.17 m/s^2

How long can you keep string cheese in the fridge?
allsm [11]
Cheese attributes its sour taste because of its lactic acid content. However, this should not be an indication to whether the cheese is spoiling already. We can tell its expiry date through the manufacturing details of the product. The product should be good to consume before the manufacturing expiry date. Every package must include expiry date in order to inform the consumer about the range of its consumability attributes. In the case where molds are present on the cheese already, cheese on some parts may not be edible already. Molds are due to the oxidation of glucose through the action of specific bacteria.
