The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Two conducting spheres are mounted on insulating rods. They both carry some initial electric charge, and are far from any other charge. Their charges are measured. Then, the spheres are allowed to briefly touch, and the charge in one of them (sphere A) is measured again. These are the measured values:
a). Before contact:
Sphere A = 4.8 nC
Sphere B = 0 nC
What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?
b). Before contact:
Sphere A = 2.9 nC
Sphere B = -4.4 nC
What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?
Solution :
It is given that there are two spheres that are conducting and are mounted on an insulating rods which carry a initial charge and they are briefly touched and then one of the charge is measured.
Here the charge becomes divided when both the spheres are connected and then removed.
a). charge after they are charged


= 2.4 nC
b). The charge is


= -0.75 nC
Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.
According to e2020, the answer is reduced performance due to stereotype threat.
