A student has a small metal sphere that hangs from an insulating string. The student, in seeking to determine the charge on the

sphere, brings a positively charged rod near the sphere and finds that the sphere is attracted to the rod. The student then brings a negatively charged rod near the sphere, and finds that the sphere is again attracted to the rod. Which of the following conclusions, if any, can be drawn from these results?
a. The sphere must be negatively charged.
b. The sphere must be positively charged.
c. The sphere must be uncharged.
d. No conclusion can be made about the charge of the sphere.

Answer:

the answer the correct one is c

Explanation:

Electric charges of different signs attract and those of the same sign repel. In addition, there are two types of insulating bodies, where the loads are fixed (immobile) and metallic (with mobile loads.

Let's analyze the situation presented

* A rod with positive approaches and the sphere is attracted, so the charge on the sphere is negative

* A rod with a negative charge approaches and the sphere is attracted, therefore the charge of the sphere must be positive.

For this to happen, the sphere must be unloaded and the charge that creates the phenomenon are induced charges because the mobile charges of the same sign as the sphere are repelled.

when checking the answer the correct one is c

The mass before a reaction is equal to the mass after a reaction? True or false?
diamong [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf True}}

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.

So, in a chemical reaction, the mass before a reaction and after cannot be different. In other words, the mass of the products must be equal to the product of the reactants.

So, this is a <u>true statement.</u>

What is the difference between atomic structure and crystal structure?
mars1129 [50]
Atomic structure applies to just that, atoms in isolation. Witness looking at atomic spectra using laboratory discharge tubes to ionise low pressure gases of atoms of the elements you want to examine for energy level structure (sodium and the yellow D line "doublet").Crystal structure applies to vast collections of atoms/molecules/ions in complicated geometrical arrays which form lattices. Simple cubic, body centred cubic, face centred cubic being a few "simple" examples.

A particle is confined between rigid walls separated by a distance L = 0.167 nm. The particle is in the second excited state (n
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The answer for a classical particle is 0.00595

Explanation:

The equation of the wave function of a particle in a box in the second excited state equals:

ψ(x) = ((2/L)^1/2) * sin((3*pi*x)/L)

The probability is equal to:

P(x)dx = (|ψ(x)|^2)dx = ((2/L)^1/2) * sin((3*pi*x)/L) = (2/L) * sin^2((3*pi*x)/L) dx

for x = 0.166 nm

P(x)dx = (2/0.167) * sin^2((3*pi*0.166)/0.167) * 100 pm = 0.037x10^-3

for x = 0.028 nm

P(x)dx = (2/0.167) * sin^2((3*pi*0.028)/0.167) * 100 pm = 11x10^-3

for x = 0.067 nm

P(x)dx = (2/0.167) * sin^2((3*pi*0.067)/0.167) * 100 pm = 3.99x10^-3

therefore, the classical probability is equal to:

(1/L)dx = (1/0.167)*100 pm = 0.00595
