Surprisingly, there is actually work being done! However, if a single person's just leaning against a wall, pressing their weight actively into it, there's not enough pressure being exerted on the wall to make it move. It does experience the pressure, but the other forces of the rest of the wall pressing in on it, gravity holding it together, all push back more. As well, even if no work was truly being done against the wall, locking your arms in one spot and applying pressure to your own muscles works those muscles to fatigue.

Why does one get tired when pushing against a stationary wall when no work is done on the wall?

Even though no physical work is done on the wall, your muscles are still contracting and using energy to generate force. This sustained muscular effort causes fatigue and leads to a feeling of tiredness, despite the lack of movement in the wall.

What happens when a rubber balloon is rubbed against wool and gains electrons?

When a rubber balloon is rubbed against wool, the balloon gains electrons from the wool due to the friction between the two materials. This transfer of electrons causes the balloon to become negatively charged while the wool becomes positively charged. The balloon will then be attracted to positively charged objects and can even stick to them momentarily due to this electrostatic force.


Is it true that only moving things have energy?

Why should you not use even though?

There's nothing wrong with using "even though." I imagine you've had a teacher caution you against starting a sentence with "even though" because you've been writing fragments or incomplete sentences. For example, if I say "Even though I was tired," you'd wonder why I said "even though." I could just say "I was tired." Or I could finish the rest of my thought in a single sentence: "Even though I was tired, I stayed up late to finish my homework."
