A charged comb often attracts small bits of dry paper that then fly away when they touch the comb. Explain why that occurs.

Physics
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Since the comb has a net charge, it attracts the paper, which has a net charge equal to zero. When the paper touches the comb, an electrical interaction is established between the charge of the comb and the neutral paper, because of this, the paper now has a net charge with the same sign of the comb and they repel.

A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 140 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b)  When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, F_1 = 140 N

let the second force = F_2

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N

F_2 = 280 \ East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N

F_2 = 560 \ West
