Answer:

B) repel each other.

Explanation:

The Van de Graaff generator works by generating net positive charges. Consequently, any material that comes in contact with the electrostatic generator ends up becoming positively charged.

When a human touches the generator, such human also becomes positively charged including every strand of hair on the person's head.

According to Coulomb's law of electric forces, like charges repel one another while unlike charges attract. <em>Hence, the positively charged hair strands try to stay as far away from one another as possible in accordance with Coulomb's law which manifests as 'standing up of hair strands'</em>.

The correct option is B.

Was the relationship among temperature,heat,and thermal energy?
marysya [2.9K]
When a substance is hotter it has more energy then a substance that is cooler thermal energy is found in the state for example:gas has more energy in the gas state then the solid state,All molecules contain some amount of kinetic energy, that is to say, they have some intrinsic motion. ... Thus, the heat of an object is the total energy of all the molecular motion inside that object. Temperature, on the other hand, is a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the molecules in a substance.

Which of the following forms a molecular solid? Which of the following forms a molecular solid? C, graphite C10H22 CaO gold
Damm [24]

Answer:

C10H22

Explanation:

Molecular Solids comprises of a Vander waal's force of attraction between the molecule. These forces are very weak when compared to ionic and covalent bond.

In Carbon, Carbon is not a molecule but an atom. One of it unique characteristics is that it forms bonds with other carbon atoms. This property is know as catenation. The bond between these carbon atoms is know as covalent bond.

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. It exists as black , slippery, hexagonal crystals.The carbon atoms in graphite forms flat layers and are joined together by strong covalent bonds. Graphite can be used as lubricant in engines.

Gold (Au) is an element on the periodic table with atomic number 79 and a mass number 197. It exists as a metal. Most times Gold forms hydrogen bonds.

C10H22 is known as decane. It is the tenth compound formed in the series of alkane family( an organic unsaturated carbon chain family). Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbons. The forces of attraction between the alkane family are weak.In decane , their exists Vander waal's force which makes Decane C10H22 a Molecular Solid.
