Which statement is the best explanation for why two negatively charged balloons move apart without ever touching? 1)Electric charges have electric fields surrounding them that allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.

2)Electrons from one balloon jump to the other and push it, without ever touching it.

3)The space between objects is actually filled with charged particles that all interact.

4)Charged objects send little lightning bolts of electrons across the space between the two balloons.

Answer is 1: Electric charges have electric fields surrounding them that allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.

the correct answer is option d

explanation:

i was wrong its d because they dont use cm when calculating square roots

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
