The sweater has a tendency to attract electrons.

The leather jacket has a lower tendency to attract electrons than the sweater.

Explanation:

The sweater and the leather jackets are made up of distinct fabrics that based on their minutest particles called an atom.

An atom is made up of sub-atomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons.

  • Electrons occupies the bulk volume of the atom and they are easily lost in atoms that are big. They are negatively charged.
  • Protons are positively charged and are very difficult to lose. They occupy the tiny nucleus with neutrons.
  • A body that becomes negatively charged will be said to have a hihg tendency to attract electrons. Normally atoms are electrically neutral. When additional electrons are added to them, they become negatively charged.
  • In this case, the sweater has a high affinity for electrons and it will attract the ones on the leather jacket.
  • The leather jacket has a low tendency to attract electrons than the sweater and it will lose some of its electrons to the sweater.

A moving object is in equilibrium. Which best describes the motion of the object if no forces change?
Alchen [17]
If the object is in equilibrium that means that the sum of the forces on it is zero and the net force is zero. If none of the forces changes then the object continues in constant uniform motion. That means constant speed in a straight line.

Difference between upthrust force and normal reaction force.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both are contact forces arising at the interface between two bodies. In the fluid this interface might be irregular, and it completely surrounds a submerged object. For a solid it is usually a single flat surface - but it can be a collection of surfaces, which do not need to be flat or regular, and which can surround the object

Upthrust occurs at a fluid-solid interface whereas normal reaction occurs at a solid-solid surface. However, it is possible to generate the same fluid-like phenomenon of upthrust by immersing a solid object in sand or small beads and agitating them to simulate the pressure of atoms. With
