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.

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why? ​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

Match the words in the left-hand column to the appropriate blank in the sentences in the right-hand column.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

1. Molecular cloud

2. Close binary

3. Brown dwarf

4. Protostellar wind

5. Thermal pressure

6. Protostellar disk

7. Jet

8. Degeneracy pressure

Explanation:

1. The Sun formed, probably along with other stars, within a large molecular cloud.

2. A Close binary consists of two stars that orbit each other every few days.

3. A Brown dwarf is a "star" so small in mass that its core never gets hot enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions.

4. Most of the gas remaining from the process of star formation is swept into interstellar space by a protostellar wind.

5. As a protostar's internal temperature increases, its growing thermal pressure helps slow its contraction due to gravity.

6. Planets may form within the protostellar disk that surrounds a forming star.

7. Mass can be lost through a jet of material ejected along a protostar's axis of rotation.

8. A "star" with mass below 0.08 solar mass has its gravitational contraction halted by degeneracy pressure.

FIND THE WEIGHT OF A 80 KG MAN ON THE SURFACE OF MOON? WHAT SHOULD BE HISS MASS ON THE EARTH AND ON THE MOON? (ge = 9.8 m/s2 ; g
elena55 [62]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity at the place where the mass is) .

Man's mass = 80 kg

His weight on Earth = (80 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 784 newtons (about 176 pounds)

His weight on the Moon = (80 kg) x (1.63 m/s²) = <em>130.4 newtons</em> (about  29.2 pounds)

His mass is <em>80 kg</em>.  Mass is the thing about him that doesn't change. 
He has the same mass on the Earth, on the Moon, or anywhere.
