Answer:
q1 = q₂= -3
therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis
Explanation:
The metallic spheres have mobile charge, so when the two spheres come into contact the total charge
Q_total = q₁ + q₂
Q_total = -2 -4
Q_total = -6 units
it is distributed in between the two spheres evenly since the charges of the same sign repel each other.
When the spheres separate each one has
q₁ = -6/2
q1 = q₂= -3
therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis
Time = distance / speed
Time = (4,800 meters) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s)
<em>Time = 0.000016 second</em>
This number is not one of the choices on the list. My hunch is that you copied the distance wrong.
If the estimated distance to the star is actually 4.8 x 10¹⁵ km, instead of 4.8 km, then the answer would be close to 500 years <em>(B)</em>.
There's no way a star can be "4.8 km away from the Earth". You can <em>walk</em> that far in about an hour, and passenger jet airplanes fly <em>twice</em> as far as that away from the Earth !
