Is electrical force much weaker than the force of gravity?
No, it's much stronger. Take two metal balls, each with one kilogram of mass, set them down 1 meter apart, and measure the gravitational force between them. Then take two tissue paper balls, put one coulomb of charge on each one, set them down 1 meter apart, and measure the electrical force between them. The force between the coulombs is about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as strong as the gravitational force between the kilograms. (that's about 1040.) You can pick up pieces of tissue with a little bit of electrical charge on a comb or a balloon ... that little bit of charge on a comb is stronger than the whole earth's gravity pulling the bits of tissue downward. Also, you can't pick up bits of tissue with a bowling ball, no matter how heavy it is, if it's not charged. Gravity isn't strong enough.
What happens if you rub a comb on the jumper and hold it above some small pieces of tissue paper?
I don't exactly know, but I think the tissue paper will do something?
Why doesn't an iron comb attract pieces of paper?
It is only after a build up of static electricity in the iron comb that will cause paper to be attracted to the comb.
How does a charged comb affect bits of paper?
The bits of paper acquire opposite charge of the comb and as unlike charge attract the bits of paper are attracted and picked up by the comb
Why does your'e hair stand up when you brush it with a plastic comb?
Your hair stands up because of static electricity. When you brush your hair with a comb, your hair builds up a static charge that will cause it to raise up.
Attractive comb can pick up bits of paper?
yes
Why can a comb pick up bits off cork?
The comb contains static electricity which picks up bits of cork. that's what i think. :)
How does a comb pick up bits of cork?
Because of friction. >:D<
Can you make music with a tissue?
Why not? wrap a tissue lightly around a comb, put the comb flat against your lips and hum.
Can the forced caused by an electric field be greater than the force due to a gravitational field Give an example to prove this?
Of course. Rub a plastic comb on your shirt, than pass it over bits of tissue on the table. The bits of tissue jump up off the table and stick to the comb. The upward electrostatic force between the tissue and the comb is greater than the downward gravitational force between the tissue and the whole earth.
How do you make your afro look larger?
comb or pick it out
Can you have a picture of a curry comb?
You can have a picture of a curry comb. All you need to do is type in curry comb into Google and go to the images section to pick an image out that you like.
Can force by an electric field be greater than force due lo gravitational field?
Of course. Rub a plastic comb on your shirt, than pass it over bits of tissue on the table. The bits of tissue jump up off the table and stick to the comb. The electrostatic field of the comb is pulling them upward with greater force than the gravitational field of the entire earth pulling them down.
What system do the enidaria and comb jellies have that sponges lack?
tru tissue
Why do kids pick there nose?
Kids pick there noses because they can get it easier with there finger and its faster or they are lazy and dont want to get up and get a tissue
How do you get hair out of a brush?
To remove hair from a hair brush, you take a comb and comb the hair from the brush, once you have removed most of it from the brush using the comb, you can pick the rest of it out by hand.
How to grow an afro?
For those of you that already have curly hair keep you hair brushed when about 0.5 inches until you reach at least 1 inch. When at 1 inch comb your hair, comb your hair lightly not hard or else it will hurt. I recommend you to comb you hair at the top. When at 2 inches start to pick it with what we call and "afro pick" comb all around like a ball. Grow it out to at least 3-4 inches and pick it at the top try not to go so deep or you will hurt your scalp. For those of you that don't have curly hair crunch your hair up and pick it out every day and repeat, crunch, pick, crunch, pick. Until your hair is 4-6 inches and do whatever you like
