Two small identical conducting spheres are suspended near each other on thin insulating threads of equal length. They are both c

harged positively but carry a different amount of charge. The spheres are brought momentarily in contact and then left hanging freely again. Has the distance between the spheres increased or decreased?

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that initially sphere has different charges and momentarily brought in contact with each other.

When the spheres are touched then charge is equally redistributed among spheres such that now they possess the equal amount of charges.

When they are suspended from the thread their separation increases compared to previous situation because now the value of force increases because of the change in the product of charges.

For example, Suppose initially they possess 15 C and 17 C charge and after redistribution they both possess 16 C  of charge.

Product of charges=15\times 17=255

Final Product of charges=16\times 16=256

As force depends upon the Product of the charges so there will be more repulsive force.

a basketball player can leap upward .65m how long does the basketball player remain in the air use 9.81m/s²​
tigry1 [53]

At the player's maximum height, their velocity is 0. Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y

which tells us the player's initial velocity v_i is

0^2-{v_i}^2=-2g(0.65\,\mathrm m)\implies v_i=3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

The player's height at time t is given by

y=v_it-\dfrac g2t^2

so we find their airtime to be

0.65\,\mathrm m=\left(3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=0.36\,\mathrm s

A block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed. Which of the following statements is correct? Grou
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:The net force on the block is zero.

Explanation:

Given

Block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed

As speed is constant and moved in a straight line along the plane therefore its velocity is also constant .

and change in velocity is equal to acceleration therefore acceleration is zero here i.e. net force is zero acting on the body.
