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.

Take the following measured gauge (or gage) pressures and convert them to absolute pressures in both kPa and psi units for an am
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

ambient Pressure =98.10 kPa

(a)gauge pressure 152 kPa

we know

Absolute pressure=gauge pressure+Vacuum  Pressure

P_{abs}=152+98.10=250.1 kPa or 36.27 psi

(b)P_{gauge}=67.5 Torr or 8.99 kpa

as 1 Torr is 0.133 kPa

P_{abs}=8.99+98.10=107.09 kPa or 15.53 psi

(c)P_{vaccum}=0.1 bar or 10 kPa

Thus absolute pressure=98.10-10=88.10 kPa or 12.77 psi

as 1 kPa is equal to 0.145 psi

(d)P_{vaccum}=0.84 atm  or 85.113 kPa

as 1 atm is equal to 101.325 kPa

P_{abs}=98.10-85.11=12.99 kPa or 1.88 psi

A luge run is straight for the first 10 m. If the velocity of the luger when he passes the start line is +25 m/s and his acceler
Lynna [10]

Recall that

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

where v_i is the luger's initial velocity, v_f his final velocity, a his acceleration, and \Delta x the distance he traverses. Then

{v_f}^2-\left(25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(9.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(10\,\mathrm m)

\implies v_f\approx29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

so the closest answer is C.
