The foot of your average gecko is covered with billions of tinyhair tips—called spatulae—that are made of keratin, the proteinfound in human hair. A subtle shift of the electron distribution inboth the spatulae and the wall to which a gecko clings producesan adhesive force by means of the van der Waals interaction between molecules. Suppose a gecko uses its spatulae to cling to a vertical windowpane. If you were to describe this situation in terms ofa coefficient of static friction, ms, what value would you assign toms? Is this a sensible way to model the gecko’s feat? Explain.

Gravity would be a repulsive force instead of an attractive one. Since protons are more massive, the universe would acquire a net negative charge. The value of the Coulomb constant k would change.

- Because of their net negative charge, bacteria are easily attracted to and adhere to surfaces on which they can proliferate, forming bacterial biofilms, thin films of bacteria coating the surface. Bacterial biofilms are especially problematic on indwelling medical devices (IMDS), which are devices inserted into a patient and include catheters, heart valves, and artificial joints. Contaminated IMDS are the most common source of infection in humans. A number of mitigation methods are in use today, including antibacterial graphene oxide coatings and the use of electric fields and surface charges to repel bacteria.

- A typical AA size rechargeable NiMH battery can store 1100-2100 mAh of electric charge. The small print on the battery in your hand says 1530 mAh. Can you express this amount of electric charge using the usual coulomb units? You are now charging a camera battery. The charger moves 4470 C of electric charge from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal. (In reality the charger moves the negative electrons from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, but this is not important for us right now.) Assuming - incorrectly - that the voltage of the battery remains a constant 3.20 V during the whole charging process, determine the work done by the charger. And now you are charging a capacitor bank for a high-voltage physics experiment. The power supply moves Q = 8990 C of electric charge in the charging process. The supply is set to stop, when the voltage reaches AV = 710 V.
