Three identical metallic conducting spheres carry the following charges: q = +3.8 μC, q = −2.6 μC, and q = −8.8 μC. The spheres

that carry the charges q and q are brought into contact. Then they are separated. After that, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere that carries the charge q. What is the final charge on the third sphere?

Answer:

-4.1μC is the final charge on the third sphere

Explanation:

From the given data, q1 and q2 are brought into contact as they are both conductors,  as such there will be evenly distribution of charges.

a) charge on each sphere(Q) = q1 + q2 / 2

= +3.8 μC + (- 2.6 μC) / 2 = 1.2μC/2 = 0.6μC

b) Now, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere ; Q is brought into contact with q3 = Q + q3 / 2

= 0.6μC - 8.8 μC /2 = -8.2 μC/2

= -4.1μC is the final charge on the third sphere.

Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar and Compare the planets Earth and Nep
nordsb [41]

Question no. 1. Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar:

Answer:  Our solar system is located in the outer spiral arm of the milky way galaxy. our solar system has one sun and nine revolving planets and . namely  

  1. Mercury
  2. Venus
  3. Earth
  4. Mars
  5. Jupiter
  6. Saturn
  7. Uranus
  8. Neptune
  9. Pluto (small planet usually refer as dwarf)

Each star has its on moon/moons and has its own characteristics i.e , planet must be a celestial body , must have orbit around sun, have enough mass for self gravity, big enough to have gravity that clear its path from other same size object close to its orbit around sun.

Mars is the fourth from the sun and sixth is the Saturn from the sun in our solar system.

<u>Common in Characteristics of Mars and Saturn:</u>

  • Mars and Saturn both have celestial body.
  • Mars and Saturn both have enough mass for the gravity to get rid of rigid body forces.
  • Mars and Saturn both revolve around the sun in their own orbits.
  • Mars is the second smallest in the solar system while Saturn is second largest in the solar system.
  • Mars and Saturn both have their own moons. Mars has two while Saturn has 83 moons
  • Mars and Neptune both do not support life.    

Question no. 2. Compare the planets Earth and Neptune. Describe how are they different from each other

Answer:

Earth our home planet is the third from the sun and Neptune on the other hand is the eighth from the sun in the solar system.

<u>Common differences between Earth and Neptune</u>

  • Earth is the terrestrial planet while Neptune (Ice giant) is the Jovian planet.
  • Earth has no ring around it, Neptune has ring around it.
  • Earth is closer to the sun and Neptune is far distant from the sun.
  • Earth consists of rocks and metals on the other hand Neptune contain gases
  • Earth is smaller than the Neptune in the solar system.
  • Earth rotates slower and Neptune rotates faster.

A motorist enters a freeway at 45 km/h and accelerates uniformly to 99 km/h. From the odometer in the car, the motorist knows th
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a)  19440 km/h²

b) 10 sec

Explanation:

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 45 km/h

v = final velocity achieved by the car = 99 km/h

d = distance traveled by the car while accelerating = 0.2 km

a = acceleration of the car

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

99² = 45² + 2 a (0.2)

a = 19440 km/h²

b)

t = time required to reach the final velocity

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

99 = 45 + (19440) t

t = 0.00278 h

t = 0.00278 x 3600 sec

t = 10 sec

Six baseball throws are shown below. In each case the baseball is thrown at the same initial speed and from the same height h ab
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

EXplained

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

change in potential energy = gain in kinetic energy

so as all he balls are throws from the same height thus the change in potential energy is the same for all the balls thus the gain in kinetic energy is the same for all the balls and as they have the same initial velocity thus the final velocity is the same for all the balls.
