Homework Statement Hi all, need a little help on an electrostatic induction problem. A positively charged metal rod is brought near to a neutral metal sphere. What is the charge of the metal sphere and the rod when the positively charged rod touches the neutral sphere. Homework Equations...

is it possible to explain this in terms of internal energy?

Hello people, i have been wondering if translational K.E = 3/2 RT, where T is the temperature, why is it that when we place a cup of water in a fast moving jet, the Temperature still remains the same, even though the K.E of the cup of water increases (due to the velocity of the jet) would...

Hi people, we all know that the equation for gravitational force is F= (G)(M1)(M2)/R^2 which means that G.Force is inversely proportional to 1/R^2. I was wondering what if the gravitational force is given as F= (G)(M1)(M2)/R OR F= (G)(M1)(M2)/R^3 .. (i.e. G.Force is inversely...
