1. As a person stands on earth they put a force on the ground and the ground puts a force on them.
How do these forces compare?
2. The sheet on your bed gives negative charged electrons to your blanket on your bed. If both objects
started this interaction as neutral, what is the charge of the sheet now?
3. A batter swings a Louisville Slugger Baseball bat that has a charge of +12, while a pitcher throws a
baseball with a charge of -2. What is the net charge of the two objects in this scenario?
4. In the bat and ball example (above in question 3), what will the charge of the ball be after the batter
hits it with the bat?
5. We know that opposite charges attract each other, but according to Coulomb's Law what is the single
most important factor in the strength of these forces?
