- Question of
Why does the child’s hair stick up?
- The boy is grounded since he’s at the bottom of the slide
- He gained a charge from the slide, and since he’s not grounded, his hairs have the same charge so they repel one another
- He gained a charge from the slide, and since he’s not grounded, his hairs have opposite charges so they repel one another
- When hair is neutral, some have a positive side and some have negative side, so they will attract to each other, making it stand up
- Question of
After grounding, how will objects interact?
- Both will have the same charge, so they attract one another
- Both will be neutral, so they will attract one another
- Both will be neutral, so they will repel one another
- Both will be neutral, so they will not attract nor repel
- Both will be neutral, so they will not attract nor repel
- Question of
A balloon is rubbed against a student’s hair and then touched to a wall. The balloon sticks to the wall due to
- The balloon is charged neutral, so is the wall, so it attracts to the wall
- The balloon is charged opposite the wall, so it attracts to the wall
- The balloon has a charge, so it attracts the neutral wall
- The wall grounds the balloon, so it sticks
- Question of
When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, the wool acquires a positive charge because
- protons are transferred from the wool to the rod
- protons are transferred from the rod to the wool
- electrons are transferred from the rod to the wool
- electrons are transferred from the wool to the rod
- Question of
Grounding happens when _______.
- A neutral object comes into contact with another neutral object
- A charged object is rubbed against another charged object
- A neutral object touches a MASSIVE conductive object
- A charged object touches a MASSIVE conductive object
- Question of
Power is defined as:
- the something that enables an object to do work
- how much force an object has
- the rate at which work is done
- energy due to the position of something
- Question of

- None of the Above
- None of the Above
- Question of
A 55 kg person walks up a staircase, and a second 55 kg person runs up the staircase. Who develops more power and why?
- the person who runs up because he takes less time
- the person who walks up because he takes more time, using more energy
- same power for both because both cover the same distance with the same force
- not enough information to determine
