Two conducting spheres are mounted on insulating rods. They both carry some initial electric charge, and are far from any other charge. Their charges are measured. Then, the spheres are allowed to briefly touch, and the charge in one of them (sphere A) is measured again. These are the measured values:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Two conducting spheres are mounted on insulating rods. They both carry some initial electric charge, and are far from any other charge. Their charges are measured. Then, the spheres are allowed to briefly touch, and the charge in one of them (sphere A) is measured again. These are the measured values:

 a). Before contact:

Sphere A = 4.8 nC

Sphere B = 0 nC

What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?

b). Before contact:

Sphere A = 2.9 nC

Sphere B = -4.4 nC

What is the charge on sphere B after contact, in nC?

Solution :

It is given that there are two spheres that are conducting and are mounted on an insulating rods which carry a initial charge and they are briefly touched and then one of the charge is measured.

Here the charge becomes divided when  both the spheres are connected and then removed.

a). charge after they are charged

      = 2.4 nC

b). The charge is

      = -0.75 nC    

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general   composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.

it is a negative acceleration
