An uncharged metal sphere, A, is on an insulating base. A second sphere, B, of the same size, shape, and material carrying charg

e Q is brought close to, but not touching, sphere A. Describe what happens to the charges on A and B as they are brought close but not touching. If we now remove sphere B and place it far away, what is the charge on sphere A

Answer:

0

Explanation:

  • If we bring the charged sphere B close to, but not touching it , to the uncharged sphere A, as charges can move freely on the conductor, a charge -Q will be built on the outer surface of the sphere A, facing to sphere B.
  • As the sphere A must remain neutral, a charge Q will be built on the surface, on the side farther to the sphere B, as the following condition must be met:

       Q +(-Q) =0.

  • If we now remove sphere B, and place it far away, there will be a charge redistribution within sphere A, making to disappear the separation between Q and -Q.
  • The total charge on sphere A must be 0, as there is no charge transfer from sphere B to sphere A.

AleksAgata [21]
One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

Which equation can be used to calculate the normal force on an object if you know the speed of the object, the coefficient of ki
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The friction force is the weight force times the coefficient of friction. So diving by the coefficient gives you the weight force which is equivalent to the normal force.

A man throws a ball straight up to his friend on a balcony who catches it at its highest point. The ball was thrown with an init
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 17.9 m/s

the final velocity of the ball at the maximum height, v = 0

The maximum height reached by the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

During upward motion, gravity is negative

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² -  2gh

0 = u² -  2gh

2gh = u²

h = u² / 2g

h = (17.9)² / (2 x 9.8)

h = 16.35 m

Ttherefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.
