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 are magnetic and electric fields similar?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: ... Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like poles repel; unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge ...

Explanation:

copied and pasted from google. I copied and pasted your question into google and got this exact answer

Here is another thing from the same website just not shortened:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges).

- Like poles repel; unlike poles attract

- Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge. Magnetic field points in the direction of the force experienced by a north pole.

Differences between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Positive and negative charges can exist separately. North and south poles always come together. Single magnetic poles, known as magnetic monopoles, have been proposed theoretically, but a magnetic monopole has never been observed.

- Electric field lines have definite starting and ending points. Magnetic field lines are continuous loops. Outside a magnet the field is directed from the north pole to the south pole. Inside a magnet the field runs from south to north.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 24.8 m/s in 7.88 s along a level stretch of road. Ignoring friction, determine the aver
nevsk [136]

Answer:

When he weight of the car is 8.55 x 10^{3} N then power = 314.012 KW

When he weight of the car is 1.10 x 10^{4}  N then power =  43.76 KW

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocity V_{1} = 0

Final velocity V_{2} = 24.8 \frac{m}{s}

Time = 7.88 sec

We know that power required to accelerate the car is given by

P = \frac{change \ in \ kinetic \ energy}{time}

Change in kinetic energy Δ K.E = \frac{1}{2} m (V_{2}^{2} - V_{1}^{2}   )

Since Initial velocity V_{1} = 0

⇒ Δ K.E = \frac{1}{2} m V_{2}  ^{2}

⇒ Power P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{t}  V_{2} ^{2}

⇒ Power P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{W}{g\ t}  V_{2} ^{2}   -------- (1)

(a). The weight of the car is 8.55 x 10^{3} N = 8550 N

Put all the values in above formula

So power P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{8550}{(9.81)\ (7.88)} (24.8) ^{2}

P = 314.012 KW

(b). The weight of the car is 1.10 x 10^{4} N = 11000 N

Put all the values in equation (1) we get

P = \frac{1}{2} \frac{11000}{(9.81)\ (7.88)} (24.8) ^{2}

P = 43.76 KW
