Riding in a car or airplane that is made of metal is safer than being outdoors in a lightening storm because the _____. 1.metal surface attracts positive charges. 2.metal surface attracts negative charges 3.metal is neutral 4.tires are made of rubber.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.metal surface attracts negative charges

Explanation:

During a lightening storm, metal surfaces can act like a Faraday's cage; by conducting the electrical current from the storm (moving electrons) around them and away from the inside. This is why airplanes and cars are safe to wait out a storm. However, they have to be made of a metal body. The conduction is due to metal surfaces attracting the negative charges in the storm.
