Discuss how a photon (aka the light particle) can be affected by gravity despite being massless.

Physics

Over [174]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Light is clearly affected by gravity, just think about a black hole, but light supposedly has no mass and gravity only affects objects with mass. On the other hand, if light does have mass then doesn't mass become infinitely larger the closer to the speed of light an object travels.

Two conducting spheres are mounted on insulating rods. They both carry some initial electric charge, and are far from any other
natka813 [3]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Two conducting spheres are mounted on insulating rods. They both carry some initial electric charge, and are far from any other charge. Their charges are measured. Then, the spheres are allowed to briefly touch, and the charge in one of them (sphere A) is measured again. These are the measured values:

 a). Before contact:

Sphere A = 4.8 nC

Sphere B = 0 nC

What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?

b). Before contact:

Sphere A = 2.9 nC

Sphere B = -4.4 nC

What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?

Solution :

It is given that there are two spheres that are conducting and are mounted on an insulating rods which carry a initial charge and they are briefly touched and then one of the charge is measured.

Here the charge becomes divided when  both the spheres are connected and then removed.

a). charge after they are charged

   $Q = \frac{q_1+q_2}{2}$

    $Q = \frac{4.8+0}{2}$

      = 2.4 nC

b). The charge is

    $Q = \frac{q_1-q_2}{2}$

    $Q = \frac{2.9-4.4}{2}$

      = -0.75 nC
