Answer:

q_end = q / 4  

Explanation:

Since the balls are in insulating barrels, it has no charge exchange with the earth, so it maintains its initial charge.

 

When the ball a touches the ball b and since the two are metallic the charge is distributed over the entire surface, by separating the two spheres that are of the same radius, the load was distributed between the two,

           

              q_end = q₀ / 2

              q_end = (q / 2) / 2

              q_end = q / 4

This is the charge on each ball.

If we keep touching the balls nothing else happens because the charges are already equal in both.

A golf club hits a stationary 0.05kg golf ball with and average force of 5.0 x 10^3 newtons accelerating the ball at 44 meters p
maxonik [38]

Answer: The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

Explanation:

Force applied on the golf ball = 5.0\times 10^3 N

Mass of the ball = 0.05 kg

Velocity with which ball is accelerating = 44 m/s

Time period over which forece applied = t

f=ma=\frac{m\times v}{t}

t=\frac{0.05 kg\times 44m/s}{5.0\times 10^3 N}=4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds

Impulse=(force)\times (time)=f\times t = 5.0\times 10^3\times 4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds=2.2 Newton seconds

The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled
Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

C=kC_0

where

k is the dielectric constant

C_0 is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

C_0=1.2 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

C=3.0 nF is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5
