Answer:

A. attract each other

Explanation:

When the neutral sphere is brought close to the negatively charged, as charges can move freely in a conductor, some electrons will be repelled, leaving a net positive charge (equal in magnitude ot the charge in the other sphere) on the surface of the neutral sphere, which will cause that both spheres attract each other.

Brutus, a champion weight lifter, raises 220 kg a distance of 3.10 m. (a) how much work is done by brutus lifting the weights? j
Nana76 [90]
A) work = force * distance 
mass is not a force, weight is, so we have to find the weight of the block. 
Weight = mg 
Weight = (220kg)(9.8) 
Weight = 2156N 
Work = 2156N * 3.10m 
work = 6683.6J 
b) Since he is holding the weights, it's not moving, therefore, he doesn't do any work 
c) The answer is still the same amount of work when he lifted them. 
d) The answer is no since when he let go the weight, he doesn't apply any force to the weight. 
e) P = work/time 
P = 6683.6J / 2.1s 
P = 3182.67 watts
