Each of two identical objects carries a net charge. The objects are made from conducting material. One object is attracted to a

positively charged ebonite rod, and the other is repelled by the rod. After the objects are touched together, it is found that they are each attracted by the rod. What can be concluded about the initial charges on the objects

Answer:

Initially one object is positive and one is negative , with the positive charge having a greater magnitude than the negative charge.

Explanation:

The object that is attracted to a positively charged ebonite rod, must have the negative charge as the oppose charges attract. However the object that is repelled by the rod must have the positive charge because the same charges repel that's why object move away from the rod.

Now after the objects are touched together, then there must be a flow of charge from one object to other until they got the equal charge in magnitude. As the both objects repel the rod it means both have now got the positive charge. So there must be initially a positive charge wih higher magnitude.

So we can conclude that,

" Initially one object is positive and one is negative , with the positive charge having a greater magnitude than the negative charge."

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?
kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease. 

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host.  A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work  which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.

Answer:

Ea = 112500[J]

Eb = 87500[J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation which tells us that the energy of a body plus the work done or applied by the body equals the final energy of a body.

This can be easily visualized by the following equation:

E_{A}+E_{friction}=E_{B}

Now we must define the energies at points A & B.

<u>For point A</u>

At point A we only have kinetic energy since it moves at 15 [m/s]

So the kinetic energy

E_{A}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{A}^{2}  \\E_{A}=\frac{1}{2} *1000*(15)^{2} \\E_{A}=112500[J]

The final kinetic energy can be calculated as follows:

112500-25000=E_{B}\\E_{B}=87500[J]
