Chapter 32, Problem 16A
Which two methods of charging objects involve touching?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Two methods of charging objects that involve touching.
Answer to Problem 16A
Two methods of charging objects that involve touching are friction and contact.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
According to the charge conservation principle, the number of charges in any interaction remains constant. They neither produce nor destroy.
Methods that involve the transfer of charge when both objects touch each other are:
Charging by friction: In this method, both objects are not charged. But, due to rubbing action, both objects become charged.
Charging by contact: In this method, one object is charged and it is brought near and made contact with an uncharged object. This way, charges are induced in the uncharged surface and it also becomes charged.
Conclusion:
Thus, two methods of charging objects involve touching are friction and contact.

You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 150 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 100 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 370 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit. (a) Determine the required constant friction force (in N) for the last 20 m for the empty test car.
