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.

Help with either I don’t understand this I know W=f*d but don’t get how it applies here
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

5) Displacement = +3.125 m

Displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) Force = -53.89 N

Force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.

Explanation:

5) We are given;

Force; F = 160 N.

Workdone; W = +500 J

Now, formula for workdone is;

W = Force × displacement

Thus, displacement = Work/force

Displacement = 500/160

Displacement = +3.125 m

Thus, displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) We are given;

Displacement; d = 18 m.

Workdone; W = -970 J

Like in the first answer above,

Workdone = Force × Displacement

Thus;

Force = Workdone/Displacement

Force = -970/18

Force = -53.89 N

Since force is negative and displacement is positive, it means force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

a)3312 x 10⁴ J

b)I = 57.5 A

c)9200 W

Explanation:

Given that

P =4600 W

Time t= 2 h = 2 x 3600 s= 7200 s

We know that

1 W = 1 J/s

a)

Energy stored in the battery = P .t

                                              =4600 x 7200 J

                                            =3312 x 10⁴ J

b)

We know that power P given as

P = V .I

V=Voltage  ,I =Current

4600 = 80 x I

I = 57.5 A

c)

The energy supplied = 4600 x 2 = 9200 W

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: B. development of female sex

Development of female sex characteristic is not associated with the amount of cortisol in the body.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal gland. It facilitates stress response, regulates blood sugar level and helps fight infections. High cortisol level leads to Cushing syndrome and low cortisol level leads to Addison disease.

Obesity is a  symptom of Cushing syndrome while weight loss is a symptom of Addison disease. Thus levels of cortisol can affect body weight as well.  When in a stressful situation, our body pumps excess cortisol.

Cortisol level in our body is generally high in the mornings and low in the midnight.
