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.

Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) When clothes are removed from a hot dryer, they often cling together, but when two identical articles of clothing, such as two matched socks, are taken out, they usually repel one another. Explain this difference in behavior.arrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward

- According to Newton’s laws of motion, an ionexposed to an electric field in a vacuum would experiencea constant acceleration from the electric driving force, justas a falling body in a vacuum constantly accelerates due togravity. In water, however, an ion moves at constant veloc-ity in an electric field. Why do you suppose that is?arrow_forwardIn the following problems, you don't need to understand the physics to complete the questions. Focus on the equations.

Write an equation of r in terms of other variables in the equation GmM F= 2 for F: r= (b) The electric force between two charges q=3·10¯6 units and Q=-4·10¯6 units separated by a distance, 1 d = 3-10-4 units, is given by F= where k=9. 10⁹ units.
