Two metal spheres are hanging from nylon threads. When you bring the spheres close to each other, they tend to attract. Based on

this information alone, discuss all the possible ways that the spheres could be charged. Is it possible that after the spheres touch, they will cling together? Explain.

Explanation:

In the given question, the two metal spheres were hanged with the nylon thread.

When these two spheres were brought close together, they attracted each other. The attraction between these spheres is the result of the opposite charges between them.

The possible ways by which these two metal spheres can be charged are by induction that is touching the metal or by rubbing them.

During induction, the same charges are transferred to each sphere. In this case, either both the spheres will be negatively charged or positively charged.

It is not possible that after the sphere touch each other they will cling together because the same charge repels each other and during touching, if one sphere is neutral, then the charged one will transfer the same charge. And as we know that same charge repel each other therefore they will repel each other.

Number 3 How to do?​
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1 m/s

Explanation:

Impulse = Change in momentum

Force × Time = Mass(Final velocity) - Mass(Initial Velocity)

(1.0)(1.0) = (1.0)(Final Velocity) - (1.0)(0)

Final velocity = <u>1 m/s</u>

A turn signal lamp must be visible in normal sunlight at a distance of at least ______ feet from the front and rear of the vehic
kaheart [24]

Answer:

500; 300 feet.

Explanation:

A turn signal lamp can be defined as an amber blinking lamp which indicates a driver's intent to change direction. It is extremely important that drivers gives a turn signal (flashing light) on the side toward which he or she is turning either left or right.

Simply stated, the turn signal lamp indicate the driver's intent to turn either leftward or rightward by displaying flashing lights to the front and rear of his or her vehicle.

A turn signal lamp must be visible in normal sunlight at a distance of at least 500 feet from the front and rear of the vehicle if the vehicle is at least 80 inches wide, and at least 300 feet from front and rear of the vehicle if the vehicle is less than 80 inches wide according to the transportation traffics code.

An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The gplanet is 0.193 m/s^2

Explanation:

The speed of the pulse is:

v=\frac{lengthofthewipe}{traveltime} =\frac{1.6}{0.0656} =15.24m/s

v=\sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} } \\v^{2} =\frac{MgL}{m} \\g=\frac{mv^{2} }{ML}

where

m=mass of the wire=4 g= 4x10^-3 kg

M=mass of the object= 3 kg

Replacing values:

g=\frac{4x10^{-3}*15.24^{2}  }{3*1.6} =0.193 m/s^{2}

WHERE IS THE HYPOTHESIS IN THIS PASSAGE?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

pretty sure for this one, "if the density affected the liquid's ability to retain heat."

Explanation:

a hypothesis should be in "if, then, because.." format, and while this bit of the passage doesnt include all three, it does include one! that bit of the passage would be an incomplete hypothesis.
