Why do the water bend after you charge a balloon?
Static electricity.
When you stick a metal or plastic spoon in extreamely hot water which one will bend more?
no
How does static electricity affect slow running water?
Slow running water in proximity to an electrically charged object (such as an inflated baloon with its surface filled with static electricity) will bend towards towards the object. The reason for this is that most water (if it is not de-ionized) contains positively and negatively charged ions. The ions with the same charge as the surface of the charged object will be pushed back into the faucet, leading to a buildup of ions with the opposite charge. Since opposite charges attract, the ions remaining in the water will be pulled towards the charged object, and the water will be pulled with the ions.
What material will hold static charge on its surface?
Any material electrically separated from ground will hold a static charge, even the human body, but only some materials can genate a static sharge in the first place by friction.Run a clear bic ballpoint pen over your hair then hold it close to a fine dribble of water from the tap. It will bend the water because of its static charge. Once the water touches the pen, the charge escapes through the water, up into the tap and then into the earth via the pipes. Note only some plastics generate a static charge in this way.I believe that some materials hold a negative static charge, while others (glass?) hold a positive charge. Not sure though.
What element is easiest to bend?
Water
Why do the water bend after you charge a balloon?
Static electricity.
What is the relationship between atoms and static electricity?
static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can bend water
Does water temperature affect how much the water bends with static electricity?
I don't know about "stick to," but if you turn on a tap so that just a thin stream of water is coming out you can actually bend it by bringing an object with a static charge near the stream.

Can boys bend water?
Yes. Not with "magical powers" though. Using static and magnets it a decent way to move globs of water or even running water. :D hope this helped. <3
Does water temperature affect how much water will bend a comb?
If the comb is plastic,and you want to bend it,the type of temeperature you would want is HOT because cold water would just make it cold,so it does matter.. very much
How can electricity make objects more?
Electricity can do more than just shock you when opening the door or make dust and pet hair to stick to you. Electricity can actually bend a steam of water and can charge objects.
What are the disadvantages of the plastic chair?
it can bend then break.
How do you unclog a face bowl?
Place a bucket beneath the 'U' bend to catch any water, and undo the pipe joints to remove the 'U' bend. Clean the pipes and 'U' bend as much as possible, before replacing the 'U' bend and tightening the joints (usually by hand if the pipes are plastic).
How do you unclog a bathroom face bowl?

Are cutlery that have handles made of plastic more likely to break than metal ones are to bend?
Plastic is far more likely to bend than metal cutlery.
