(a)  A balloon is given a positive charge when when you rub it on your hair. This is because __ are transferred from __ to ___. The individual strands of your hair will (CHOOSE ONE FROM THE PAIR) attract/repel one another, while your hair and the balloon will (CHOOSE ONE FROM THE PAIR) attract/repel one another.

(b) If the charge on the balloon is + 3.0 * 10^ -6 C (+3 uC), what are the magnitude and sign of the charge on your hair?

(c) If the balloon is held 40 cm from your hair, what is the magnitude of the force on the balloon?

(d) What is the magnitude of the force on your hair?

Answer #1

A)HAIRS WILL REPEL AND BALLON AND HAIR ATTRACT(When two objects rub against each other it is likely that one will steal electrons from the other. (see triboelectricity) If you rub a balloonagainst your hair, the balloon will steal electrons from your hair. This leaves your hair positively charged and the balloon negatively charged AND WE KNOW THAT LIKE CHARGES ATTRACT AND UNLIKE CHARGES REPEL)

B)-3UC

C)=9*10^9 * 3*10^-6 *-3*10^-6/(40*10^-2)^2

=-0.50625N

0.50625N(OPP)

D)0.50625N(SINCE FORCE ACTING ON HAIR WILL OPPOSITE FORCE ACTING ON BALLON)

When you rub the balloon through your hair, invisible electrons (with a negative charge) build up on the surface of the balloon. This is called static electricity, which means “non-moving electricity” The electrons have the power to pull very light objects (with a positive charge) toward them – like the soda can. 1) Scientists were able to create electric charge only on nonmetallic materials and never on metals. Please explain why? 2) How much water can you put in the...

A rubber balloon gains excess electrons when a person rubs the balloon in his hair. If the person decided to do this, answer the following questions about the charged balloon. (a) If the balloon is allowed to come into contact with the wall, it will stick to the wall. In one sentence, tell me why the balloon sticks to the wall. Please draw a free body diagram of the balloon as it sticks, stationary, to the wall. (b) Determine an...

When we observe two charged balloons dangling from thin thread, they can repel each other. We tend to use small thin water balloons so they behave the right way. The balloons accumulated approximately equal amounts of charge. If we touch them together they can share charge and have equal charge. You are going to hang the two charged balloons from a rod/stick, on a string hung over the rod—making an inverted V like picture. The balloons will then repel. The...

A physics student is doing experiments with a Van de Graff generator that has a positively charged dome. A small balloon is held near the generator and it is deflected toward the generator and reaches equilibrium at a point 40° from the vertical when the separation is 15 cm. The mass of the balloon is 50 grams. a) Is the balloon positively or negatively charged? Justify your answer. b) Draw a free-body force diagram of the forces acting on the...

What is the force between a charge of 5 µC and 6 µC when they are spaced 4.5 cm apart? Two equal but opposite charges, Q = 18e, are separated by a distance d = 5 mm. What is the electric field at the point P, which is a distance x = 22 µm from the positive charge? The two charges and point P are all along a single straight line. One electron is placed 4.4 cm from a stationary...
