What force is counteracting the attractive force of gravity on the pieces of paper?

This depends on what the pieces of paper are up to. - If the pieces of paper are at rest on a surface, the normal (perpendicular) force of that surface is counteracting the attractive force of gravity. - If the pieces of paper are in the air, some aerodynamic forces are counteracting the attractive force of gravity, but only the component of the aerodynamic forces that is directed in the opposite direction of gravity. (That is, if you throw the pieces of paper UP in the air aerodynamics and gravity will do work in the same direction, and no force will counteract gravity.) This system is not in equillibrium and the pieces of paper will sooner or later fall to the ground. - It should be possible to counteract the attracting force of gravity by giving the pieces of paper an electrostatic charge and holding an object of opposite charge above them. This can be done by rubbing the pieces of paper against an inflated rubber balloon, the papers will stick to the balloon. Note that for this to work, something will have to counteract the force of gravity on the balloon. This can be done by suspending it from the roof or holding it in your hand. Something would then have to counteract the attractive force of gravity on the roof (the walls) or you (whatever you are standing on)... and so on ad infinitum...

Paper hop project?

Paper Hop Problem: How can we show that atoms have positive and negative charges? Hypothesis: If we can rub some electrons off an item, and make it positively charged, then it will stick to an item of the opposite charge. Materials: piece of notebook paper, paper hole puncher, small balloon, clean hair Procedure: 1. Use the hole punch to cut about 15-20 small circles from the piece of paper. 2. Spread the pieces on a table. 3. Inflate the balloon and tie it. 4. Rub the balloon against your hair about five strokes. 6. Hold the balloon close to, but not touching, the paper circles. Observations: The paper circles jump to the balloon. Conclusion: Paper is an example of matter, and all matter is made up of atoms. Each atom has a positive center with negatively charged electrons spinning around outside. The balloon rubs the electrons off of the hair, giving the balloon an excess of negative charges. The positive part of the paper circles is attracted to the excessive negative charge on the balloon. This attraction between the positive and negative charge is great enough to overcome the force of gravity and the circles will hop upward toward the balloon.


Why does your paper stick to your plastic folder?

It is caused by static electricity. When the paper runs against the binder it is attracted to it like when you rub a balloon on your head and your hair stands up.


What are some real life examples of static electricity?

Some of the real life examples of static electricity are:rubbing the balloon on your hair and your hair will stick onto the balloonrubbing plastic pen or comb on a jumper & pieces of paper will stick onto itbrushing your hair & hair will stick on your skin if you have a long hairif your hair's down, & you're going to put your sweater on your hair will stick onto your sweater
