Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters

. A third identical conducting sphere, C, is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to B, and finally removed.
1. As a result, the electrostatic force between A and B, which was originally F, becomes ________:A. F/2B. F/4C. 3F/8D. F/16E. 0

Answer:

C. \frac{3F}{8}

Explanation:

Let initial charges on both spheres be,q

F=\frac{Kq^2}{d^2}   \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \_i

When the sphere C is touched by A, the final charges on both will be,\frac{q}{2}

#Now, when C is touched by B, the final charges on both of them will be:

q_c=q_d=\frac{q/2+q}{2}\\\\=\frac{3q}{4}\\

Now the force between A and B is calculated as:

F\prime=\frac{k\times\frac{q}{2}\times \frac{3q}{4}}{d^2}\\F\prime=\frac{3F}{8}

Hence the electrostatic force becomes 3F/8

Based on the thermodynamic properties provided for water, determine the energy change when the temperature of 0.650 kg of water
____ [38]
The boiling point of water is 100°C. So at 101°C, the water is steam. Compute the specific heat first from 101 to 100.

E = mCΔT, where c for steam is 1.996 kJ/kg·°C
E₁ = (0.65 kg)(1.996 kJ/kg·°C)(101 - 100°C) = 1.2974 kJ

Next, let's solve the latent heat when steam turns to liquid. The heat of vaporization of water is 2260 kJ/kg.

E₂ = mHvap = (0.65 kg)(2260 kJ/kg) = 1469 kJ

Lastly, let's solve the energy to bring down the temperature to 51°C. The specific heat of liquid water is 4.187 kJ/kg·°C.
E₃ = (0.65 kg)(4.187 kJ/kg·°C)(100 - 51°C) = 139.36 kJ

Thus,
<em>Total energy = 1.2974 kJ+1469 kJ+139.36 kJ = 1,609.66 kJ</em>

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The paper focuses on the biology of stress and resilience and their biomarkers in humans from the system science perspective. A stressor pushes the physiological system away from its baseline state toward a lower utility state. The physiological system may return toward the original state in one attractor basin but may be shifted to a state in another, lower utility attractor basin. While some physiological changes induced by stressors may benefit health, there is often a chronic wear and tear cost due to implementing changes to enable the return of the system to its baseline state and maintain itself in the high utility baseline attractor basin following repeated perturbations. This cost, also called allostatic load, is the utility reduction associated with both a change in state and with alterations in the attractor basin that affect system responses following future perturbations. This added cost can increase the time course of the return to baseline or the likelihood of moving into a different attractor basin following a perturbation. Opposite to this is the system's resilience which influences its ability to return to the high utility attractor basin following a perturbation by increasing the likelihood and/or speed of returning to the baseline state following a stressor. This review paper is a qualitative systematic review; it covers areas most relevant for moving the stress and resilience field forward from a more quantitative and neuroscientific perspective.
