If the sphere is positively charged, the positive rod is repelled by the sphere while the negative rod is attracted by the sphere.
<h3>What is an electrical charge?</h3>
An electrical charge can be positive or negative. From the laws of electrostatics, unlike charges attract while like charges repel. As such the effect observed when the rods are individually brought near the sphere will decide the charge on the sphere.
If the sphere is neutral, there is no effect observed when each rod is brought near the sphere. If the sphere is positively charged, the positive rod is repelled by the sphere while the negative rod is attracted by the sphere.

Answer: 117.8 nm
Explanation:
Given,
Nonreflective coating refractive index : n = 1.21
Index of refraction: 
= 1.52
Wave length of light = λ = 570 nm = 
Hence, the minimum thickness of the coating that will accomplish= 117.8 nm
A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.
