An initially electrically neutral conducting sphere is placed on an insulating stand. A negatively-charged glass rod is brought

near, but does not touch the sphere. Without moving the rod, a wire is then attached to the sphere that connects it to earth ground. The rod and wire are then removed simultaneously. What is the final charge on the sphere?a) negative
b) positive
c) neutral
d) It has a fifty percent chance of having a positive charge and a fifty percent chance of having a negative charge.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer

Explanation:

It is known that when a neutral object comes in contact with a charged object then an opposite charge develops on the neutral object. But this development of charge occurs only when both the objects come in contact and if they are not in contact with each other then there occurs no charge on the neutral object.

As in the given situation, negatively-charged glass rod is brought near, but does not touch the sphere. So, there will occur no charge on the sphere.

Thus, we can conclude that final charge on the sphere is neutral.

How should the distance, D, between two point charges, q1 and q2, be changed to double their electric potential energy
Licemer1 [7]

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

u \:  =  \:  \frac{kq1q2}{d}

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion

2. Most massive are the hottest and most luminous, upper left of main sequence on Hr Diagram.  

3. The radius of stars are related to their sprectral type. having the O being the hottest upper left and M being the coolest bottom right.

Two blocks of ice, one four times as heavy as the other, are at rest on a frozen lake. A person pushes each block the same dista
qaws [65]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object is 4m

mass of lighter object is m

A person pushes each block  with same force F

According to Work Energy theorem Change in kinetic energy of object is equal to Work done by all the object

As launching velocity is same for both the object so heavier mass must possess greater kinetic energy . For same force heavier mass must be pushed 4 times farther than the light block .

\Delta (K.E.)_H=\frac{1}{2}(4m)v^2

\Delta (K.E.)_L=\frac{1}{2}(m)v^2

\Delta K.E.=F\times d

So the correct option is b
