As a honeybee flies, the passing air strips electrons from its hairs, giving the bee a net positive charge. Since flowers are negatively charged, pollen the jumps onto a bee even if a bee does not physically touch the pollen particles. (a) Estimate the diameter of the central disk of a daisy.
(b) If a bee has has 75,000 electrons stripped by the air, what is the net charge?
(c) If this bee lands at the edge of the daisy's central disk, determine its electric field at the far edge of the the disk. Treat the bee as a thin walled hollow sphere with its net charge distributed uniformly over its surface.
(d) A pollen particle requires a force of 10pN to dislodge from a stamen. Estimate the net charge on a pollen particle at the far end of the disk required for the particle to dislodge and jump to the bee.

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.

Does the distance travelled by an oscillating mass between times t=0 and t2 equal the displacement of the particle over the same time period if t2> t/2? hint: consider a sine wave starting at t1=0, then consider a closing wave starting at t1=0, for your explanation.

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster thatwill carry two passengers per car. the car goes up a 10-m highhill, then descends 15m to the track's lowest point. you'vedetermined that the spring can be compressed a maximum o 2.0m andthat a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400kg. for safetyreasons, the spring constant should be 10% larger than the minimumneeded for the car to just make it over the top. a) what spring constant (k) should you specify ? b) what is the maximum speed of a 350 kg car if the spring iscompressed the full amount.
