Describe how the movement of electrons between two objects with balanced charges could cause the buildup of electric charge in both objects-?

Electrons have a charge of minus one,and by moving them between objects, they attract charges, and hence they built up charges in them.


What types of forces cause objects to accelerate?

balance


Why does gravity pulls objects to earth?

Gravity is the cause of a pair of forces that attract any two specks of mass toward each other. The forces act along the line between the centers of the objects. As long as you're anywhere near Earth, the forces of gravity pull the Earth toward the center of you, and pull you toward the center of the Earth (and they're equal).


True or False Electric forces cause friction and other contact forces.?

False.


Can object with a static charge can attract only other charged objects?

No. It can exert a much weaker force on neutral objects, due to an induced separation of charges - that is, the charged object will cause a separation of charges in the uncharged object, thus creating an electric dipole.


What do balanced forces cause?

Balanced forces cause stationary objects to remain at rest and moving objects to come to rest. If on exact opposite direction - nothing. Else it will produce a resultant force.


Forces that cause an objects velocity to change?

In all cases acceleration.


How do balanced forces affect an objects motion?

Balanced forces applied on both sides of an object cause it to be still. Unbalanced forces will cause the object to move away from the strongest force.


How do neutral objects behave when placed near charged objects?

They repel, same with two negatively charged objects


How do unbalanced forces affect objects?

An unbalanced force will cause acceleration in the direction of the force.


Why can only external forces cause objects to move?

Because of Newton's First Law of Motion.


Do all forces acting on objects cause motion?

If the forces acting on an object are equal there is no motion (5N->O<-5N). If the forces are unequal there is movement (7N-->O<-5N).
