data will be collected
2.
Rebecca and Brent are putting up their Christmas decorations ready for Christmas Eve. Brent hangs
a pair of glass-ball Christmas tree decorations from a
single 40 cm long thread looped over a pin as shown.
Rebecca wants the balls to hang 20 cm apart (centre
to centre), and she suggests to Brent that he put in
another pin so the balls hang apart. Not wanting to
make lots of pin holes in the wall, Brent suggests that
they charge the balls up instead so that they repel
each other, thus removing the need for another pin,
and simultaneously creating an interesting talking
point. The thread is non-conducting, and the balls are
coated in a shiny and conductive metal paint. The balls each have a mass of 10 g and a radius of 5
cm. The thread is very fine so its mass can be ignored. Brent uses Barbara the cat to charge up a
Perspex rod, by rubbing it on her fur until it starts crackling and she runs away. He then uses the rod
to charge the balls while holding them in contact by the threads.
a. Draw a diagram showing all the forces acting on the balls.
b. How much charge must be placed on each ball so that they hang 20 cm apart (centre to
centre) as Rebecca wants them to?

This may be fun, but will it work?

CRITERION D

REFLECTING ON THE IMPACTS OF SCIENCE (30 minutes)

Usually apply scientific language to communicate understanding clearly and

precisely

1.
RIVERS GENERATOR ENERGY

Discuss how the use of small hydroelectric power can be implemented in the
rivers that descend from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, generating a good
sustainability process in the community that lives near these small rivers
ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
Discuss how man could take advantage of gamma rays and the rest of the
electromagnetic spectrum to be able to appreciate new objects in space, or man
has already reached the top of spectrum use for such a function. Explain your
point of view.

CANCER AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS

Discuss how the use of tracer can affect the well-being of a person suffering
from cancer in the long term. Consider the half-life concept of a radioactive
material
