An electrified rod attracts pieces of paper after a while pieces fly away why?

An electrified rod attracts the pieces of paper after a while the papers fly away because of the exchange of the charges between the rod and the pieces of papers.


How many pieces of paper can a helium balloon pick up?

it depends on the size of the balloon and the size of the paper


Would small pieces of tissue paper near a rubbed balloon why would they probably stick to the balloon?

yes


How can you use a balloon with a negative charge to find out whether the charge on another balloon is positive or negative?

You can tell if the negative balloon attracts or repels the other balloon. If it attracts the balloon then it is a positive balloon. If it repels the balloon then it is a negative balloon.


Is plastic ruler gets attracted towards pieces of paper when rubbed with oily hair?

when rubbed with hair, ruler acquires some charge due to static electricity...becomes charged body and attracts tiny pieces of paper towards it.


What is static electricity and balloons?

Static electricity is an electric charge built up on persons or objects through friction,and a balloon is a rubber *ball8 thing that you blow up. your welcome


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...

If a blown up balloon was covered in newspaper and pva glue would the paper stay in shape if the balloon burst?

No, the paper would not maintain its shape if the balloon burst because the balloon provides the structure and support for the paper to keep its shape. Without the balloon, the paper covering would collapse and lose its form.


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.
