Their clothes tend to stick together after they pass through the dryer. Because? Do you expect that, on drying, assuming that all clothes are made of the same material (say, cotton), the agglutination will be higher or lower than in the case of clothes made with different materials? Because? (You may want to do the experiment the next time you do laundry.)

The probability of fusion occurring is greatly enhanced when appropriate nuclei are brought close together, but mutual Coulomb repulsion must be overcome. This can be done using the kinetic energy of high- temperature gas ions or by accelerating the nuclei toward one another. (a) Calculate the potential energy of two singly charged nuclei separated by 1.001012. (b) At what temperature will atoms of a gas have an average kinetic energy equal to this needed electrical potential energy?

Your clothing tends to cling together after going through the dryer. Why? Would you expect more or less clinging if all your clothing were made of the same material (say, cotton) than if you dried different kinds of clothing together? Again, why?
A physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical conducting balls with mass m = 0.190 g to threads of length L as shown in the figure. There are two strings in the figure. The top of each string is connected to the ceiling, and both strings are connected at the same point. The bottom of each string is connected to a spherical mass labeled m. Both strings have length Land hang at an angle of θto the vertical, with the two strings on opposite sides of the vertical. Both balls have the same charge of 7.60 nC, and are in static equilibrium when θ = 4.55°. What is L (in m)? Assume the threads are massless. Draw a free-body diagram, apply Newton's second law for a particle in equilibrium to one of the balls. Find an equation for the distance between the two balls in terms of L and θ, and use this expression in your Coulomb force equation. m (b) What If? The charge on both balls is increased until each thread makes an angle of θ = 9.10° with the…
