You have a large metal sphere that starts out isolated and has no net charge. Then you bring a positively charged rod near it wi
thout touching.
Will there be a force between the sphere and rod?
Draw a qualitative diagram showing the location of the charges in the metal sphere once the rod is brought near.

1 answer:
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
There will be a force because the large metal sphere is polarized when the rod is placed close to it, this happens because the metal sphere has free electrons and they will be attracted by the positively charged rod, the sphere will remain neutral as a whole (the same number of negative and positive charge), but a portion of the sphere will become more positive and the other more negative, creating this force.

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be and it's velocity be
and the mass of 1500 kg car be
and it's velocity be
.
After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.
By law of conservation of momentum we have
2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V
V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s
So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s
