How long is a straw?
A typical plastic straw is around 7.5 inches long, while paper straws can vary in length.
Why does a straw attract another straw when rubbed with piece of paper but repels it if it is rubbed with a sheet of paper?
When a straw is rubbed with a piece of paper, it acquires a positive charge due to the transfer of electrons from the paper. Two positively charged straws will repel each other. However, when a straw is rubbed with a sheet of paper, it acquires a negative charge, and opposite charges attract, resulting in the straws being attracted to each other.
How do you make a spit ball?

What charge develops on rubbing plastic straw with polythene?
When you rub a plastic straw with polythene, the plastic straw becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons between the materials. Electrons are transferred from the polythene to the plastic straw, leaving the straw with a negative charge.
