A student with her hand on the Van de Graaff generator experiences her hair standing straight up in the air. Which of the following is the BEST physics explanation as to why this happens?

The air around the student’s head becomes saturated with protons from the dome of the Van de Graaff generator. Since the student’s hair is naturally negatively charged, it is attracted to the protons in the air and stands up.

Protons are pulled up from the bottom of the Van de Graaff generator, via the rubber belt, and are transferred to the student’s hair. Hair reacts to protons and stands up.

The dome of the Van de Graaff generator has a large distribution of electrons which, in turn, negatively charge the student. The hairs on the student’s head become negatively charged and stand up because they are repelling each other.

The student’s hair is attracted to the current in the electrical cord of the Van de Graaff generator and stands up, based on the math of Coulomb’s Law.

Chose the best engineering goal from the choices below:

The destitute people of storm-ravaged Flatsville, Alabama require exceedingly energy-efficient and quickly-constructible yet sturdy homes to reside in due to the fact that an energy-efficient residence will not require as many funds to sustain its operation, and a quickly constructible residence will be able to provide immediate relief to those in Flatsville left homeless by the storms and also their lights are off.

The community of Flatsville, Alabama requires a house that is electrically energy efficient because Company Restore is competing for a bid to rebuild all of the recently destroyed houses in the area and Company Restore needs to make the most amount of profit possible for their investors.

The community of Flatsville, Alabama recently experienced a natural disaster which destroyed many homes. The people of the community need new homes to withstand strong storms and tornadoes from power outages in the future. The homes must be sturdy, safe, and energy-efficient.

Our goal in our PhysEng group is to build an energy efficient prototype of a house for the people of Flatsville, Alabama since their homes were destroyed by natural disaster and we need a good grade.

What is the purpose of assigning weights to different criteria in a decision matrix?

It prevents one design from getting the highest score in every criteria.

It ensures that every design meets all of the set criteria.

It’s actually best to weight all criteria equally.

It means the most important criteria have the greatest influence in the final design.
