Greg rubs the balloon on his wool sweater, and the charges on the balloon separate so that there are negative areas and positive areas. Which of these statements correctly describes what happens as a result?
Sorry it isn't math it's science
whats the answer
To determine which statement correctly describes what happens when Greg rubs the balloon on his wool sweater, we need to understand the process of charging by friction. When two objects are rubbed together, the electrons are transferred between them, causing one object to become positively charged and the other to become negatively charged.
Statement 1: The balloon becomes completely positively charged.
Statement 2: The balloon becomes completely negatively charged.
Statement 3: The balloon develops positive and negative charges in separate areas.
The correct statement is Statement 3. When Greg rubs the balloon on his wool sweater, the charges on the balloon separate so that there are negative areas and positive areas. This occurs because electrons are transferred from the sweater to the balloon, making the balloon have an excess of electrons (negative charges) in some areas and a deficit of electrons (positive charges) in other areas. Therefore, the balloon develops positive and negative charges in separate areas.
the statements are
Greg rubs the balloon on his wool sweater, and the charges on the balloon separate so that there are negative areas and positive areas. Which of these
statements correctly describes what happens as a result?
A. The thread will bend so that positive charges are far away from negative charges.
B. The thread will straighten so that positive charges are close to positive charges.
C. The negative charges in the thread will attract negative charges on the balloon.
D. The positive charges in the thread will move toward negative charges on the
balloon.
