Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.
Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.
Answer:
B) the change in momentum.
Explanation:
The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision (
):
(1)
We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

So, (1) becomes

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time:
. If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

And the quantity
is equivalent to the change in momentum,
.
When in the melting process particles start to move more freely when in the freezing process particles tend to slow and vibrate in place
A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.
