I am studying Kleppner 2nd ed on my own, and I cannot know whether my answers are correct. I have searched on google, to no avail. Where can I find the solutions?
I am a 1st year undergraduate student. I am in need of some fascinating applied physics/ engineering physics projects that two 1st year undergraduates can complete in about 10 working hours, and as such not very difficult. We would like a project that we could build inexpensively, and calculate...

What determines the maximum potential to which the dome of a Van de Graaff generator can be raised?
on one hand i have the equation V=1/4πε q/r then there V∝1/r
whereas on the other hand the natural tendency for positive charge is to move higher to lower potential. Thus, provided we are somehow...
If the sun suddenly vanished, hypothetically ceased to exist. Would the Earth still continue on its circular path for 8 min 20 sec? and then leave its orbit tangentially?
How does it differentiate between +vely and -vely charged particles? And know the exact force to be applied on the particle; not more, not less: just exact? is there something i am really missing out?
How does a particle detect the presence of another? And also how does it know whether to attract or to repulse without even interacting with one another?
