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.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

4 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 12 m

v₀ = 6 m/s

v = 0 m/s

Find: t

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

12 m = ½ (0 m/s + 6 m/s) t

t = 4 s

Whiat is quantum numbers describes the size and energy of an orbital?
Levart [38]

Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.
