A metal rod A and a metal sphere B, on insulating stands, touch each other. They are originally neutral. A positively charged ro
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The sphere is positively charged

Explanation:

This is because when the positively charged rod is brought near the metal rod A, the electrons in metal rod A and sphere B are attracted towards it into metal rod A while the positive charges in the are repelled into sphere B. So, when the charged rod is withdrawn, and metal rod A and sphere B are separated, metal rod A is now negatively charged, but sphere B is positively charged.

So, sphere B is positively charged.

A vector has an x-component
9966 [12]

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant.  Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.
