100

Two objects have the same electric charge... what interaction do you predict?

Repulsion. 

100

Explain the three results of our tape lab, and what that meant.

T-T repelled

B-B repelled

T-B attract

100

What is a scientific model used to do?

Explain and predict phenomena.

100

What is Ms. Bussler's dogs name?

Boots

100

The Sun is the closest example of what kind of astronomical object to earth?

a star

200

What are the three ways something can become charged? 

Pull apart, rub/friction, contact with a neutral object

200

What charge is the VDG? How did we determine this?

Negative.

We used a negative balloon (known charged object) and it repelled the VDG.

200

What are the three important aspects of a scientific model?

components 

relationships

connection to phenomena

200

What is Ms. Bussler's dream vacation?

Iceland. 

200

What force keeps the moon in orbit around the earth?

gravity

300

What makes a neutral object neutral?

Equal amounts of positive and negative charges...

300

Which element makes up most of the sun and stars?

hydrogen

300

What helps a negative balloon attract to a neutral wall? What characteristics does a neutral object have...

equal pos and neg...

charge shifts so pos attract to neg and vice versa

300

What three sports did Ms. Bussler play in high school?

golf, basketball, soccer

300

What animal has the highest blood pressure?

Hint: you find it in the zoo!

A giraffe

400

An object with an unknown charge attracts to a negative rod. What charges are possible and what additional test can be ran to make sure?

Positive/Neutral. 

Hold to neutral object-- if nothing, neutral. If attracts positive. 

400

Which metal is liquid at room temperatures?

mercury

400

Which way does an electric field face surrounding a positive object? Explain why. 

Away. 

Repels positive

400
What's Ms. Bussler's favorite food?

Sushi

400

Name one of the two plants in our solar system that do not have moons...

mercury or venus
500

Explain how car paint works...

The powder is the same charge, and repels each other. The car is the opposite charge, so it sticks!

500

A neutral pie pan touches the charged VDG then flies off. Explain the sequence using charge and force. 

Charged THE SAME from contact and repels. 

500

In an electric field model, what do we use? and what do they represent?

vectors, direction and magnitude.

What is Ms. Bussler doing on Nov 7?

Going to watch State lose!!!

What planet has the most moons???

Saturn
