Question

question 24 of 30. if you rub a balloon on your hair, it becomes charged, and as a result it can stick to your head without being held there. why doesnt it fall to the ground? a. the electrical force holding the balloon to your head is stronger than earths gravity. b. the gravitational force also acts between the balloon and your head. c. the electrical field around your head disrupts earths gravitational field. d. the balloon and your head are closer together than the balloon and earth.

Explanation:

When a balloon is rubbed on hair, it acquires a charge, creating an electrical force between the balloon and hair. This force must counteract Earth's gravity to prevent the balloon from falling. The electrical force here is stronger than Earth's gravitational pull on the balloon.

Answer:

A. The electrical force holding the balloon to your head is stronger than Earth's gravity.
