Apositive rod is placed to the left of sphere a, and the spheres are separated. which best describes the spheres? sphere a is negative and sphere b is positive because protons from sphere a are attracted to the rod and move to sphere b. sphere a is negative and sphere b is positive because electrons from sphere b are attracted to the rod and move to sphere a. sphere a is positive and sphere b is negative because electrons from the rod move to sphere b and protons then move to sphere a. sphere a is positive and sphere b is negative because protons move from sphere b to the rod and also to sphere a.

Ahot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0 m above the ground. after it is released, the sandbag encounters no appreciable air drag. compute the velocity of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release.

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 of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)
