Answer:

Explanation:

The static charges are generated due to excess or deficiency of electrons, because these are the smallest quanta of charge available at the molecular level which can get transferred with minimal energy requirement.

These charges are usually generated by friction between  the two surfaces leading to the transfer of electron from one to another.

When a plastic pipe is rubbed with a cloth then due to friction the surface of the cloth loses electron which gets stuck at the surface of the pipe making it negatively charged.

Study the scenario.
Otrada [13]

If no other forces act on the object, according to Newton’s first law, the spacecraft will continue moving at a constant velocity, assuming that a planet or something with large mass doesn’t cross its path. Forces are not required to continue the motion of an object on a frictionless plane at a constant rate.
