State clearly how the pith ball electroscope may be used to test for the kind of charge on a body

An object with a known charge is first brought close to the ball so as to induce the opposite charge. Lets say we brought a positive object, so the ball will be negatively charged. Afterwards, the object with the unknown charge is brought closer. If the ball is attracted, then the object is positively charged and if it is repelled then the object is negatively charged.

A balloon that has been rubbed on wool has a negative charge. When the balloon is held over—but not touching—some bits of paper,
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

This process is known as static electricity

Explanation:

When balloon is rubbed on the wool , a negative charge is usually formed. When the balloon is then held over—but not touching—some bits of paper, some of the bits jump up to the balloon. The bits which jump up to the balloon are positive charged and we know that unlike charges attract.

This process explains static electricity which is when the charges on a material are not in a balanced state.

An electron with a speed of 1.7 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 4.9 × 10-16 N acts
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

 y = 77.74 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Newton's second law

        F = m a

        a = F / m

        a = 4.9 10⁻¹⁶ / 9.1 10⁻³¹

        a = 0.538 10¹⁵ m / s

This is the vertical acceleration of the electron.

Now let's use kinematics to find the time it takes to move the

         x= 29 mm = 29 10⁻³ m

On the x axis

            v = x / t

            t = x / v

            t = 29 10⁻³ / 1.7 10⁷

            t = 17 10⁻¹⁰ s

Now we can look for vertical distance at this time.

            y = v_{oy} t + ½ a t²

            y = 0 + ½ 0.538 10¹⁵ (17 10⁻¹⁰)²

            y = 77.74 10⁻⁵ m
