Synthesis Question 2
As we all know, in the wintertime we are more
likely to get shocked when we walk across carpet
and touch the door knob. Here is another
wintertime experiment to perform. Turn on a
water faucet until you have a continuous but
small stream of water coming from the faucet.
Brush your hair vigorously then hold the brush
near the stream of water. You will notice that the
stream bends towards the brush. Why does the
water bend?
