A positively charged metal sphere, A, is held close to but not touching and identical uncharged sphere, sphere B. Sphere A is no

w removed. After sphere A has been removed, sphere B is touched to an initially uncharged sphere, sphere C. What is the sign of the charge, if any, on sphere C after it has been touched by sphere B

Answer:

The sphere C carries no net charge.

Explanation:

  • When brougth close to the charged sphere A, as charges can move freely in  a conductor, a charge equal and opposite to the one on the sphere A, appears on the sphere B surface facing to the sphere A.
  • As sphere B must remain neutral (due to the principle of conservation of charge) an equal charge, but of opposite sign, goes to the surface also, on the opposite part of the sphere.
  • If sphere A is removed, a charge movement happens in the sphere B, in such a way, that no net charge remains on the surface.
  • If in such state, if  the sphere B (assumed again uncharged completely, without any local charges on the surface), is touched by an initially uncharged sphere C, due to the conservation of  charge principle, no net  charge can be built on sphere C.

A student attempted to measure the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g

In the equation for the gravitational force between two objects, which quantity must be squared?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The distance between the two objects must be squared.

Explanation:

Gravitational force always act between two objects that have mass. The gravitational force is a weak force and attractive in nature.

The force of pull depends on the masses of the two objects and the distance between them.

The formula to calculate gravitational force between two objects having masses 'm' and 'M' and separated by a distance 'd' is given as:

F_g=\frac{GmM}{d^2}

Where, 'G' is called the universal gravitational constant and its value is equal to 6.674\times10^{-11}\ m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}.

Now, from the above formula, it is clear that, the force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Thus, the quantity that must be squared in the equation of gravitational force between two objects is the distance 'd'.
