Only one of three balls a, b, and c carries a net charge q. the balls are made from conducting material and are identical. one of the uncharged balls can become charged by touching it to the charged ball and then separating the two. this process of touching one ball to another and then separating the two balls can be repeated over and over again, with the result that the three balls can take on a variety of charges. which one of the following distributions of charges could not possibly be achieved in this fashion, even if the process were repeated a large number of times?
a. qa = 1/3q, qb = 1/3q, qc = 1/3q
b. qa = 1/2q, qb = 1/4q, qc = 1/4q
c. qa = 1/2q, qb = 3/8q, qc = 1/4q
d. qa = 3/8q, qb = 3/8q, qc = 1/4q.

Scientist have use computer models to create a series of maps that show how susceptible coastal cities in island countries are to the sea rising at different levels. the map shows that a 1 meter rise would swap cities all along the us eastern seaboard. a 6-meter sea level rise with sub merge a large part of florida. thermal expansion has already raise the oceans 10 to 20 centimeters the most likely cause, directly and indirectly, for such a rise in sea level is
