We have three identical metallic spheres A, B, C. Initially sphere A is charged with charge Q, while B and C are neutral. First,

sphere A is brought into contact with sphere B and then separated from it. After that, sphere A is brought into contact with sphere C and then separated from it. Finally, sphere A is brought into contact with sphere B again, and then separated from it.

Answer:

The final charges of each sphere are:   q_A = 3/8 Q , q_B = 3/8 Q ,               q_C = 3/4 Q

Explanation:

This problem asks for the final charge of each sphere, for this we must use that the charge is distributed evenly over a metal surface.

Let's start Sphere A makes contact with sphere B, whereby each one ends with half of the initial charge, at this point

                q_A = Q / 2

                q_B = Q / 2

Now sphere A touches sphere C, ending with half the charge

                q_A = ½ (Q / 2) = ¼ Q

                q_B = ¼ Q

Now the sphere A that has Q / 4 of the initial charge is put in contact with the sphere B that has Q / 2 of the initial charge, the total charge is the sum of the charge

                  q = Q / 4 + Q / 2 = ¾ Q

This is the charge distributed between the two spheres, sphere A is 3/8 Q and sphere B is 3/8 Q

                  q_A = 3/8 Q

                  q_B = 3/8 Q

The final charges of each sphere are:

                q_A = 3/8 Q

                q_B = 3/8 Q

                q_C = 3/4 Q

How many neutrons does an atom of Dubnium have in its nucleus
attashe74 [19]
Dubnium is a synthetic element ... Number 105.  It can be created
in a laboratory but it's not found in nature.

Fifteen (15) different isotopes of Dubnium have been created.  They all
have 105 protons in the nucleus of every atom, but they have anywhere
from 256 to 270 neutrons in each nucleus.

The most stable isotope of Dubnium is  ²⁶⁸Db , with 163 neutrons in the
nucleus.  That form of Dubnium atom has a 50-50 chance of surviving
for around 28 hours before it falls apart.

Which electromagnetic wave would have a wavelength approximately the size of the tip of a pencil?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

That's simply because any electromagnetic wave longer than a microwave is called a radio wave. Microwaves: Obviously used for cooking in microwave ovens, but also for transmitting information in radar equipment. Microwaves are like short-wavelength radio waves. Typical size: 15cm (the length of a pencil).

raketka [301]

Answer:s=0.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Inclination \theta =11.1^{\circ}

Speed of block(u)=1.6 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.39

deceleration provided by friction=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta [/tex]

Using v^2-u^2=2as

Final velocity v=0

0-1.6^2=2(g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta )s

s=\frac{-1.6^2}{2\cdot (9.8\sin 11.1-0.39\times 9.8\times \cos 11.1)}

s=0.68 m
