Explain the process of why the balloon is attracted to the wall, and why electrons are not transferred in this process. Is the w

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The process by which the balloon is attracted and possibly sticks to the wall is known as static electricity which is the attraction or repulsion between electric charges which are not free to move.

The wall is an insulator.

Explanation:

When a balloon is blown and tied off, and then the balloon is rubbed on the woolly object once in one direction, and the side that was rubbed against the wool is brought near a wall and then released, it is observed that the balloon is attracted to and sticks to the wall. The above observation is due to static electricity.

Static electricity refers to electric charges that are not free to move or that are static. One of the means of generating such charges is by friction. When the balloon is rubbed on the woollen material, electrons are given away to the balloon's surface. Since the balloon is an insulator (materials which do not allow electricity to pass through them easily), the electrons are not free to move. When the balloon is brought near to a wall, there is a rearrangement of the charges present on the wall. Negative charges on the wall move farther away while the positive charges on the wall are attracted to the electrons on the balloon's surface. Because the wall is also an insulator, the charges are not discharged immediately. Therefore, this attraction between opposite charges as well as the static nature of the charges results in the balloon sticking to the wall.

When a certain gas under a pressure of 4.65 106 Pa at 21.0°C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final p

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

-72.0°C

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Since n, number of moles, is constant:

PV / T = PV / T

(4.65×10⁶ Pa) V / (21 + 273.15) K = (1.06×10⁶ Pa) (3V) / T

T = 201.16 K

T = -72.0°C

Why are some atoms radioactive

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Atoms are made of three types of sub-atomic particle: neutrons and protons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Some materials are radioactive because the nucleus of each atom is unstable and gives out nuclear radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays.

An object is placed 18 cm in front of spherical mirror.if the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror, calculate it's

ivolga24 [154]

1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$ (1)
where
f is the focal length
$d_o$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$d_i$ is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, $d_o = 18 cm$ , while $d_i=-4 cm$ (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}$
from which we find
$f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm$

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
$r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm$
