Answer:

Static electricity.

Explanation:

Electric Charge; Is the quantity of electricity held in an object

The balloon is electrically neutral, meaning it had an equal amount of positive and negative charges hence it couldn't attract the paper.  

After rubbing the balloon, it gained an electric charge; and after gaining this charge it got the ability to exert a force on the pieces of paper and attract them, This is called static electricity.

Therefore, Static electricity caused the paper to stick to the balloon.

Steam moves into the cylinder of a steam engine at a constant pressure and does 0.60 j of work on a piston. the diameter of the
Ahat [919]
The formula is:
W = p * ΔV,    where W stays for work, p stays for the pressure and ΔV is the change of volume in the piston.
We know that : W = 0.6 J.
The piston has a diameter: 1.8 cm. It means that : r = 0.9 cm.
It travels 2.3 cm, so the height of a cylinder is: h = 2.3 cm.
ΔV = r² · π · h = 0.9² · 3.14 · 2.3 = 5.85 cm³ = 0.00000585 m³
The pressure:
p = W / V = 0.6 J / 0.00000585 m³ = 103,448.27 Pa
p = 103.45 kPa
Answer: The pressure of the steam is 103.45 kPa.

A 1200-kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the rear end of a 9,000-kg truc
UNO [17]

Answer

given,

mass of car (m) = 1200 Kg

speed of cur, u = 25 m/s

mass of truck(M) = 9000 Kg

speed of truck, u' = 20 m/s

v = 18 m/s

a) using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

1200 x 25 + 9000 x 20 = 1200 x 18 + 9000 x v'

9000 v' = 188400

v' = 20.93 m/s

b) To calculate losses, we will find the kinetic energies before & after collision. Any difference would give us the losses (in energy form).

(K E)₁= (K E)₂+ Losses

losses = (K E)₂ -  (K E)₁

           =\dfrac{1}{2}(mv^2 + Mv'^2)- \dfrac{1}{2}(mu^2 + Mu'^2)

           =\dfrac{1}{2}(1200 \times18^2 +9000 \times 20.93^2)- \dfrac{1}{2}(1200 \times 25^2 +9000\times 20^2)

           =9038 J

Which describes why the sun is a renewable resource? The sun creates biomass. The sun is continuously releasing energy. The sun
Fynjy0 [20]

Renewable source means that it can never run out or run out in a long time. In this case the sun is expected to shine for about five billion years because of the high amount of hydrogen that is stored in its core. So the answer should be "The sun is continuously releasing energy". This answer is the best because there are many other renewable resources on earth that can cause pollution.
