The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Two conducting spheres are mounted on insulating rods. They both carry some initial electric charge, and are far from any other charge. Their charges are measured. Then, the spheres are allowed to briefly touch, and the charge in one of them (sphere A) is measured again. These are the measured values:

 a). Before contact:

Sphere A = 4.8 nC

Sphere B = 0 nC

What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?

b). Before contact:

Sphere A = 2.9 nC

Sphere B = -4.4 nC

What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?

Solution :

It is given that there are two spheres that are conducting and are mounted on an insulating rods which carry a initial charge and they are briefly touched and then one of the charge is measured.

Here the charge becomes divided when  both the spheres are connected and then removed.

a). charge after they are charged

   $Q = \frac{q_1+q_2}{2}$

    $Q = \frac{4.8+0}{2}$

      = 2.4 nC

b). The charge is

    $Q = \frac{q_1-q_2}{2}$

    $Q = \frac{2.9-4.4}{2}$

      = -0.75 nC

If a basball is project upwards from the ground level with an initial velovaity of 32 feet per second, then it's height is a fun
inessss [21]

Answer:

Maximum height reached by the ball is 32 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

If a baseball is project upwards from the ground level with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second, then it's height is a function of time. The equation is given as :

s=-8t^2+32t...........(1)

t is the time taken

s is the height attained as a function of time.

Maximum height achieved can be calculated as :

\dfrac{ds}{dt}=0

\dfrac{d(-8t^2+32t)}{dt}=0

-16 t + 32 = 0

t = 2 seconds

Put the value of t in equation (1) as :

s=-8(2)^2+32(2)

s = 32 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 32 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

In a controlled experiment, a scientist is studying how long it takes feathers of different sizes to fall to the ground. What is
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.

In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)

So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.

And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.

In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.

A copper wire 1.0 meter long and with a mass of .0014 kilograms per meter vibrates in two segments when under a tension of 27 Ne
Furkat [3]

Answer:

the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the copper wire, L = 1 m

mass per unit length of the copper wire, μ = 0.0014 kg/m

tension on the wire, T = 27 N

number of segments, n = 2

The frequency of this mode of vibration is calculated as;

F_n = \frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\F_2 = \frac{2}{2\times 1} \sqrt{\frac{27}{0.0014} }\\\\F_2 = 138.87 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz
