Abumblebee flying through the air picks up a net charge of +40 pc, due in part to the triboelectric effect (charge transfer by friction) from collision with small dust particles*. the presence of this positive charge on their bodies the bumblebees locate negatively charged flowers when foraging for pollen and nectar**. the natural electric field near the surface of the earth has an average magnitude of 120 n/c and is directed downward. the mass of a typical bumblebee is 0.10 grams. calculate the ratio of the coulomb force on the bee to the gravitational force on the bee. note that (1pc = 10^{-12} c)(1pc=10 −12 c). [for small number answers, use the scientific “e” notation : 0.0076 = 7.6e-3 ]

Ascientist is working with a new kind of quantum dot to make a dye. he is applying newton’s laws to the particle, but it seems to be breaking these laws of physics. which action will most likely the scientist study the particle’s motion? a. he needs to remember that the particle is too large for quantum analysis. b. he must continue to use newtonian mechanics, but he needs to learn more about the particle. c. he needs to use quantum mechanics, not newtonian mechanics, because this is a nanotechnology product. d. he must determine new physical laws that only apply to quantum dots.
