Question
Chapter 7, Problem 8Q
(a)
To determine
To Explain: The way , it is possible for a negatively charged iron ball (on the end of a plastic rod) exerts a strong attractive force on a penny even though the penny is neutral.
(b)
To determine
To Explain:The penny accelerates toward the ball, hits it and then it is immediately repelled. The reason for the sudden change from an attractive to a repulsive force on contact between the penny and the ball.

On plant Tehar, the free-fall acceleration
is the same as that on Earth but there is
als a strong downward electric field that is
unyorm close to the planet's surface. A 2.ookg
ball having a charge of 6.00 Mc is thrown upward
at a speed of 22.0 m/s-and it hits the ground
after an interval of 4.505. What is the poten-
tial difference between the starting point and
the top point of the trajectory 2
In 1910 R. A. Millikan8 studied the motion of tiny droplets of oil falling in an electric field. A field of strength E exerts a force Ee on a droplet with charge e. Assume that E has been adjusted so the droplet is held stationary (v = 0) and that w and B are as given above. Find an expression for e. Millikan repeated this experiment many times, and from the data that he gathered he was able to deduce the charge on an electron.

Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a positive charge Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle?

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.arrow_forwardIn a thundercloud there may be electric charges of +45.0 C near the top of the cloud and -45.0 C near the bottom of the cloud.
