When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.

g A 1.45-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 860 N/m). The coefficient of static friction betwe
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The minimum compression is  x= 0.046m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

              The mass of the block is m_b = 1.45 kg

               The spring constant is  k = 860 N/m

               The coefficient of static friction is  \mu = 0.36

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the  horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

     Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

                   F_y = m_b*g

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is  force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

                   F_x = k *x * \mu

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

        Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

                      x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}

substituting values we have

                     x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}

                        x= 0.046m
