AI Thread Summary
Charge transfer in metal rod experiments demonstrates that a charged metal rod can impart charge to a free-hanging aluminum-coated ball, as evidenced by the ball's behavior after contact. Even after the charged rod is removed, the ball retains its charge, indicating that charge remains on both the ball and the metal rod. When a paint stick is used instead of a metal rod, no charge transfer occurs, likely due to the paint stick's inability to conduct electricity. Questions arise regarding the forces involved when charges are equal and the reasons for the persistent charge after the removal of the coating rod. Overall, the experiments highlight the principles of electrostatics and charge retention in conductive materials.

A free-hanging, easy ball to the surface coated with aluminum foil, recharged by a metal rod, one end of which affect the ball (figure A). Charge is introduced with metal rods the other end, as it touches with a charged coating rod. The ball makes rulings that show that the metal rod and had some of the coating specimen charging (figure B). even after the coating rod removed from the metal rod remains the ruling, which shows that charge remains on the ball and the metal rod (figure C). the metal rod replaced by a paint ball rod makes no rash (figure D).

Questions:
1) For situation B, you will both metal ball and metal rod the same charge. It has thus been transferred electrons from / to paint the rod. Should not also paint the rod also some one replierande force? If it is not, why?

2) What is it that makes the image C that even after coating the rod removed from the metal rod remains the ruling? Why can not form an electrical influence? So that when one side is positive and the other end is negative?

3) Why does nothing happen when you replace your metal rod against a paint stick and paint for a charged rod in contact with each other? Why there is no electron transfer else?

Aloshi,

This looks like a machine translation. Could you please try to put this into clearer English?

If you really cannot do this, I am afraid that you may be unable to understand any reply.

excuse me, but I can not English well. they are a program that can help me? I andvändr me of google translate but it is worthless. 'll try to make it better
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
