Chapter 21, Problem 1Q
If you charge a pocket comb by rubbing it with a silk scarf, how can you determine if the comb is positively or negatively charged?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The method to determine whether the comb is positive or negative.
Answer to Problem 1Q
By using an electroscope, the charge of a pocket comb can be determined.
Explanation of Solution
A pocket comb can be charged by rubbing it with a silk material. To determine the charge of the comb, electroscope can be used. Electroscope is made of glass.
When a glass is rubbed with silk, it will get positively charged. Bring the charged comb near to the electroscope. When the leaves of the electroscope moves away from each other, then the comb are positively charged as same charges repels. If the leaves come closer, then the comb is negatively charged. Therefore, by using an electroscope, the charge of a pocket comb can be determined.

- PROBLEM 2 A cube of mass m is placed in a rotating funnel. (The funnel is rotating around the vertical axis shown in the diagram.) There is no friction between the cube and the funnel but the funnel is rotating at just the right speed needed to keep the cube rotating with the funnel.

Min Min’s arms are large springs, with a spring constant of 8.53 ⋅ 10^3 N/m, which she uses to punch and fling away her opponents. Min Min pushes her spring arm against Steve, who is not moving, compressing it 1.20 m as shown in figure A. Steve has a mass of 81.6 kg. Assuming she uses only the spring to launch Steve, how fast is Steve moving when the spring is no longer compressed?
