a) Solids keep shape, liquids take shape of containers but don't spill, gases take container's shape and spill out
b) if you heat gas, speed of its molecules will increase and they'll push the container's walls stronger, so the pressure will increase when the container heated
c) Heat flows from warmer to colder bodies
d) For monatomic gases it's U=1.5nRT only, molecular gas has bonds between atoms so total internal energy increases
e) Of gases
f) m/s
g) U=5/2*nRT=37830.85 J
1)
The electrostatic force between two charges is given by
(1)
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1, q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the charges
When the two spheres are brought in contact with each other, the charge equally redistribute among the two spheres, such that each sphere will have a charge of
where Q is the total charge between the two spheres.
So we can actually rewrite the force as
And since we know that
r = 1.41 m (distance between the spheres)
(the sign is positive since the charges repel each other)
We can solve the equation for Q:
So, the final charge on the sphere on the right is
2)
Now we know the total charge initially on the two spheres. Moreover, at the beginning we know that
(we put a negative sign since the force is attractive, which means that the charges have opposite signs)
r = 1.41 m is the separation between the charges
And also,
So we can rewrite eq.(1) as
Solving for q1,
Since , we can substituting all numbers into the equation:
which gives two solutions:
Which correspond to the values of the two charges. Therefore, the initial charge q1 on the first sphere is
