After running a comb through your hair, how do the hairs behave when the comb comes close to them?
The hairs are attracted to the comb and move easily at a distance from it.
The hairs are repelled by the comb.
It takes contact for the hair to move.
They barely move, one way or the other, until the comb touches them.
Joe is preparing some boiled potatoes. He wanted to check to see if they are done. Should he lift the lid of the pan toward himself or away from himself? Explain why.
Strictly speaking, does the plastic rod in the figure weigh more, less or the same after rubbing it with fur? Explain.
