Lets say sphere 1 has a charge of 12 + and sphere 2 has a charge of 0 +. After they are touched Sphere 1 becomes 6 + and sphere 2 6 +. So 6 - 12 = a change of 6 -, while 6 - 0 = a change of 6 + Therfore,

Answer: The sign of the charge change / transfered are opposites.

In a two-source circuit, one source acting alone produces 10 ma through a given branch. the other source acting alone produces 8
pashok25 [27]
Refer to the figure below.
R = resistance.

Case 1:
The voltage source is V₁ and the current is 10 mA. Therefore
V₁ = (10 mA)R

Case 2:
The voltage source is V₂ and the current is 8 mA. Therefore
V₂ = (8 mA)R

Case 3:
The voltage across the resistance is V₁ - V₂. Therefore the current I is given by
V₁ - V₂ = IR
10R - 8R = (I mA)R
2 = I
The current is 2 mA.

Answer: 2 mA

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Yes, when an apple falls towards the earth, the apple gets accelerated and comes down due to the gravitational force of attraction used by the earth. The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but the earth does not move because the mass of the apple is very small, due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a = F/m) but the mass of the earth is very large, the same gravitational force produces very small acceleration in the earth and we don't see the earth rising towards the apple.

A grasshopper jumps at a 65.0 degree angle at 5.42m/s. At what time does it reach its maximum height?
crimeas [40]
When the grasshoppers vertical velocity is exactly zero.
v = -g•t + v0.
v: vertical part of velocity. Is zero at maximum height.
g: 9.81
t: time you are looking for
v0: initial vertical velocity
Find the vertical part of the initial velocity, by using the angle at which the grasshopper jumps.
