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.

serious [3.7K]

Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here metal lead is having an oxidation state of +4 called as Pb^{4+} cation and sulphur non metal has oxidation state of -2 called as S^{2-}. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral PbS_2

The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

Two vectors of magnitudes 30 units and 70 units are added to each other. What are possible results of this addition? (section 3.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

Explanation:

given,

two vector of magnitude = 30 units and of 70 units

to calculate resultants vector = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b cos\theta}

cos θ value varies from -1 to 1

so, resultant vector

=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2 a b cos\theta}\ to\ \sqrt{a^2+b^2+ 2 a b cos\theta}

a = 30 units    and  b = 70 units

= \sqrt{30^2+70^2-2\times 30\times 70}\ to\ \sqrt{30^2+70^2+2\times 30\times 70}

=   40 units to 100 units

hence, the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

Um carro percorre um trecho de 450 km em escalar media do carro
Aleks04 [339]

Average speed of the car is defined as the ratio of total distance and total time

So here we will have

v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}

now we know that

distance = 450 km

time = 5 h

now from above equation we will have

v = \frac{450 km}{5 h} = 90 km/h

so the average speed will be 90 km/h
