Suppose you have three identical metal spheres, AA, BB, and CC. Initially sphere AA carries a charge qq and the others are uncharged. Sphere AA is brought in contact with sphere BB, and then the two are separated. Spheres CC and BB are then brought in contact and separated. Finally spheres AA and CC are brought in contact and then separated. What is the final charge on the sphere B, in terms of q?

a. 3/8q

b. 1/4q

c. 3/4q

d. q

e. 5/8q

f. 1/3q

g.1/2q

Suppose you have three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Initially sphere A carries a charge q and the others are uncharged. Sphere A is brought in contact with sphere B, and then the two are separated. Spheres CC and BB are then brought in contact and separated. Finally spheres AA and CC are brought in contact and then separated. What is the final charge on the sphere B, in terms of q?

a. 3/8q

b. 1/4q

c. 3/4q

d. q

e. 5/8q

f. 1/3q

g.1/2q

h. 0

The correct option is b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge carried by A is q C

The charge carried by B is 0 C

The charge carried by C is 0 C

When A and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by A and B is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{ 0 + q}{2} = \frac{q}{2}$

When C and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by C and B is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{0 + \frac{q}{2} }{2} = \frac{q}{4}$

When C and A are brought close and then separated the charge carried by C and A is mathematically evaluated as

$\frac{\frac{q}{4} + \frac{q}{2} }{2} = \frac{3q}{8}$

Looking at these calculation we can see that the charge carried by B is

$\frac{q}{4} C$

Answer from: Quest

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

Next a skier is pulled by a tow rope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 15 with the horizontal. the rope moves parallel to the slope with a constant speed of 0.69 m/s. the force of the rope does 800 3 of work on the skier as the skier moves a distance of 8.4 m up the incline. (a) if the rope moved with a constant speed of 2.2 m/s how much work would the force of the rope do on the skier as the skler moved a distance of 8.4 m up the incline? at what rate is the force of the rope doing work on the skier when the rope moves with a speed of (b) 0.69 m/s and (c) 2.2 m/s?

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
