If there's air in a ball and it bounces how come a room doesn't bounce

Consider two metallic rods mounted on insulated supports. one is neutral, the other positively charged. you bring the two rods close to each, but without contact, and briefly ground the the neutral rod by touching it with your hand. show answer correct answer what would be resulting charge (if any) on the initially neutral rod

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

Asystematic approach to problem solving is called a (an)
