Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.
Electrostatic repulsion is the force between two charges having the same sign, that tends to separate them further. The force is proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.
Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.
Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.
