Two uncharged conductors, a and b, are of different sizes. they are charged as follows: 1. a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. a is briefly touched to b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on b reaches a maximum value. if the final charge on b is 3q, what was the charge on a after the first time it touched b?

The thermal expansion or contraction of a given metal is a function of the f a)-density b)-initial temperature c)- temperature difference d)- linear coefficient of thermal expansion e)- final temperature f)- original length

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
