Two identical conducting spheres are charged with a net charge of +5.0 q on the first sphere and a net charge of −8.0 q on the s
1 answer:
Answer:
The net charge on each sphere is -1.5 q
Explanation:
Conductors are materials that allow the electrons which are the carriers of the charges to move between them, and when two conductors come in contact, the available charge is shared by the two conductors and the resultant like charges will spread on the surface of the conductor due to the repellent effect between similar charges such that if the conductors are identical, the resultant charge becomes evenly shared by the conductors when they become separated again
The given parameters of the conducting spheres meant to touch are;
The net charge on the first sphere, Q₁ = +5.0 q
The net charge on the second sphere, Q₂ = -8.0 q
The net charge on each sphere after touching and then separated, 'Q', is given as follows;
Therefore, by substituting the known values of the variables, we have;
The net charge on each sphere, Q = -1.5 q.

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:
Here,
L = Length
g = Acceleration due to gravity
We can realize that is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,
Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:
The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.
We can calculate the density of the balloon as follows:
Therefore, the balloon will fall
Since the density of air is about 0.00123 g/cm^3 , the balloon is much more dense than the surrounding air. As a result, the balloon weighs more than the air that it displaces so the balloon will fall.
