Why does a rubbed plastic object stay charged but a rubbed metal object lose its charge?
Plastic is an insulator where as metal is a good conductor
Why would a battery powered clock lose time on the outside wall of a house but not on an interior wall?
Batteries lose their life much faster in cold weather.
When particles of a gas lose thermal energy do they move slower or faster?
they move like old people
Why does a cup of tea lose heat faster than without a lid?
cus its uncoverd your letting all the heat out
Do heavier longboards go faster?
The difference in weight of a longboard is very minimal but may have a slight change. Heavier longboards will take a little longer to accelerate but will also lose speed slower. Light longboards gain speed faster but they also lose it faster. On a big hill the maximum speed will have to do more with your tuck, the road conditions, and quality/durometer of wheels than it would with the weight of the board.
How can an electrical conductor lose its effect?
In order for it to lose its effect you have to put an insulator around it, such as rubber or plastic.
Would plastic or silk flowers work best for an arrangement that will be in a window?
Plastic flowers tend to lose their color faster then silk flower in sun light. Dispite the higher price silk flowers are well worth it in the end.
Balloon Delivery is a Lifesaver?
When ordering balloons, same day delivery offers convenience. Balloons lose helium over time. Ordering too far ahead of your party will leave you flat balloons and extra costs for replacements.
Why do balloons get smaller over time?
They gradually lose small amounts of air making it smaller.
How can boxers lose weight faster?
They really don't lose weight faster it looks like it becuz of the muscels but they don't
When tires wear down they lose rubber from the tread surface - where did the missing rubber go?
It is left on the road as you travel
Does soda lose its fizz faster in a room or in the refrigerator?
It looses it faster in a room
Why do helium balloons lose air faster than carbon monoxide balloons?
It doesn't literally lose "air," because "air" is not what's inside.But I know what you mean ... you want to know why it losespressure faster, and goes limp and saggy.The molecules of helium are actually physically smaller than the molecules of any component of air, so they escape more readily and more often through the molecular structure of the rubber or mylar skin.(Tentative answer) Helium atoms are smaller than the molecules in air, so they are more likely to pass through the microscopic holes (imperfections) in the latex or mylar. Over time, the net effect is that helium leaves the balloon faster.You are probably referring to the escape of helium, He, from a sealed or knotted balloon.Yes, helium escapes from sealed rubber balloons very much faster than air does. This is because the rubber membrane of a typical toy balloon possesses many small holes or pores, of sizes ranging from smaller than that of a helium atom, to holes thousands of times larger (but still too small to clearly see with the naked eye). He, being the second-smallest atom (next to Hydrogen), passes through many more of these holes than Nitrogen, N, the principal constituent of air and which has an atomic radius many times larger than He. There are other effects at work besides atomic size, but atomic size alone will explain most of the faster deflation seen in He balloons, compared with balloons filled with room air.Helium atoms are smaller than air molecules. The Helium can creep between the rubber molecules in the balloon more easily and quicker than the bigger heavier air molecules.
Do you lose more weight the faster you run?
no
What is the effect of sunlight on rubber ink and paper?
the ink will soon fade, the rubber will lose its strechiness and the paper will stay white
How do you get the balloons on Mario Kart wii?
You don't get them, you just attack people so they lose them, and then your team gets a point. If you lose all 3, you respawn with three more.
How do you lose weight fast like in 2 months?
you don't. the faster you lose it the faster it will come back along with EXTRA pounds..hate to tell ya.
