Two metal spheres that are initially uncharged are mounted on insulating stands. A negatively charged rubber rod is brought clos

e to, but does not make contact with sphere X. Sphere Y is then brought close to X on the side opposite to the rubber rod. Y is allowed to touch X and then is removed some distance away. The rubber rod is them moved far away from X and Y. What are the final charges on the spheres

Answer:

Sphere X is positively charged while sphere Y is negatively charged

Explanation:

The method described in the given experiment is known as charging by induction. Charging by induction is a method used to charge an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object

When a negatively charged rubber rod is brought near the uncharged sphere X, charges are induced in the metal sphere. Positive charges are attracted to to the rubber rod whereas negative charges are repelled away from the rod. Since the spheres are mounted on insulated stands, the induced charges remain on the sphere. When sphere Y is made to touch sphere X, the negative charges from X flow into Y leaving it with excess negative charges.  When Y is then removed from X, the excess negative charges are then evenly distributed across the surface of Y. Finally, the rubber rod is moved far way from X leaving X with excess positive charges due to the electrons that have flowed from it into Y.

A piston of small cross-sectional area a is used in a hydraulic press to exert a small force f on the enclosed liquid. A connect
seropon [69]

Answer:

force on larger piston = <em> </em>\frac{fA}{a}

Explanation:

we label the pistons as piston A and piston B

small piston A:

area = a

force = f

large piston B:

area = A

force  = ?

<em>Pascal's law of pressure state that the pressure delivered to a liquid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid.</em>

we know that pressure = force ÷ area

pressure of piston A = \frac{f}{a}

pressure of piston B = \frac{(force on piston B)}{A}

obeying Pascal's law, the system pressures must be equal. Therefore

\frac{f}{a} = \frac{(force on piston B)}{A}

force on large piston (B) = F =<em> </em>\frac{fA}{a}

From different frames of reference, time intervals and lengths both appear different. what is one measurement that will appear t
choli [55]

The speed of a beam of light will appear the same to all observers.

<h3>Speed of light:</h3>

The exact distance that light travels in a vacuum in a second is 299,792,458 meters (983,571,056 feet). This is roughly 186,282 miles per second, or "c," the symbol for light speed in mathematics.

According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, an object (such as a single photon of light) cannot appear to move faster than the speed of light. This physical rule is not broken by Nemiroff's experiment since the laser pointer emits a stream of photons rather than a single photon.

Nothing can move faster than light in a vacuum, according to one of physics' most revered rules. However, in a recent experiment, this speed restriction was broken when a laser pulse traveled at more than 300 times the speed of light.
