Question

9 multiple choice 3 points grab a balloon and rub it against the sweater. what happens to the charges on the balloon? electrons from the sweater are transferred to the balloon. the balloon explodes. electrons from the balloon are transferred to the sweater. the balloon transfers positive charges to the sweater.

Explanation:

When a balloon is rubbed against a sweater, electrons are transferred. Balloons tend to gain electrons when rubbed against materials like sweaters (which lose electrons). Electrons are the negatively - charged particles that are transferred in such static - electricity - generating situations. Positive charges (protons) are in the nucleus and are not transferred in this simple rubbing process. And there is no reason for the balloon to explode just from rubbing.

Answer:

Electrons from the sweater are transferred to the balloon.
