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.

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full. What is the depth of the tank if it is 0.500-m wide by 0.900
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

0.16 m

Explanation:

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full, and the density of gasoline is 6.8 × 10² kg/m³. We can find the volume occupied by the gasoline (volume of the tank).

50.0 kg × (1 m³/6.8 × 10² kg) = 0.074 m³

The volume of the rectangular tank is:

volume = width × length × depth

depth = volume / width × length

depth = 0.074 m³ / 0.500 m × 0.900 m

depth = 0.16 m

Answer:

Decreases/Reduces

Explanation:

Fill in the blank:

Consider the equation Work = Force X Distance.

<em>If a machine  increases the distance over which a force is exerted, the force </em>

<em>required to do a given amount of work</em> .........

If the work is a constant value, then by isolating force from the equation, we get:

Force = Work / Distance

By increasing the value of the Distance, then the quotient Work. Distance diminishes, and therefore the required force decreases (diminishes, reduces)

Answer: Decreases/Reduces
