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.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion?
