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.

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.

Which of the following terms is best described as the number of waves that pass a point in one second? A) wave speed B) period C
ehidna [41]

The term that best describes how many waves that pass? It's frequency because how many waves are passed by a given point or time is called the waves frequency. I hope this helped you out on your assignment.

I actually know the answer to this one, you use pennies to find the atomic weight of a penny, it really doesn't have a weight. LOL
