Electrostatic Lab

What materials will you use?
I will use the virtual lab and elements provided by the class

What would you measure?
I will measure the static electricity with a neutrally charged balloon

What results do you expect?
I expect that the balloons charges and sticks to the wall.

What is the result are different? That would mean that there is a different way to charge the balloons than negative charge as using your hair.

EXPERIMENT

Bring together the balloons but not touching each other.

Rub a balloon in sweater.

Rub several times the balloon and the sweater so there is more attraction

Bring the balloon as close to the wall as possible but without touching.

OBSERVATION

They kept the same, so they couldn’t be charged.

The balloons sticks to the sweater because it was attracted to the sweater and charged.

There is a greater exchange of electrons so the balloon get more charge and sticks more to the sweater.

Nothing happened, objects kept the same

Experiment

Rub the uncharged balloon with the wall

The balloon is more attracted to the sweater that to the wall

Rub both balloons together

Observation

The balloon kept the same, it wasn’t charged.

The sweater became proton charged, this means that the balloon will be more attracted to the sweater than to the wall.

Objects kept the same because non of them was charged.

After touching the blue balloon with the sweater, what kind of charge is on the balloon? Explain how observations support this conclusion.

When I rubbed the balloon with the sweater, the balloon was charged negatively and this two exchanged electrons. The blue balloon was attracted to the opposite, which was the sweater.

After touching the yellow balloon with the wall, what kind of charge is on the balloon? Explain how observations support this conclusion The wall and the balloon didn’t attract because the wall has a more rough and difficult surface. And the balloon wasn’t

    It supports my theory that the stronger or more chargers you have that are the same, the stronger the the repelling force will be. In opposite the unlike charges are more likely to attract more quickly when you have more opposite charges. The outcome depends on what charge the puck has.…

    If it moves along a string it focuses the power from the balloon's air in a single direction, generating more concentrated thrust and helping it travel as far as possible in one direction. For the balloon's velocity, if the balloon is moving rightwards, then the velocity is moving rightwards also. The amount of speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a large distance in a short amount of time. A slow-moving object that has a low speed will cover a small amount of distance in the same amount of time. The force that moves the balloon to create velocity is the thrust when you let go of the balloon's mouth piece. Thrust can be created from your hand or controller. The movement that pushes the balloon forward will make it go farther.The air that shoots out from the balloon's mouth also pushes the balloon forward and creates some velocity.The change in velocity depends on the mass of the object. A force will cause a change in velocity and a change in velocity will generate a force. If there is no force acting on an object then the object will maintain a constant velocity. When velocity is zero the object remains at…

    As I rub the balloons in my hair, I am picking up positive charges from my hair, which are electrons. The static charge produced will remain active on the balloons, so when they are stuck to the wall by attraction, and then repel one another. Given that the fundamental laws of nature tells us that no charge can be created nor destroyed, I think of the balloons as holding two magnets with the same negative…

    A charged object will attract an uncharged object until they touch, and then they will repel one another. When charged objects attract uncharged objects, such as when the negatively charged plastic comb or fur attracted the paper, the negatively charged comb/fur repelled some of the electrons in the paper. This results in a redistribution of charges in the paper so that one side is more negative than the other side. The net effect is that the paper is attracted to the comb/fur. This also applies to the balloon attracting an uncharged wall. When a charged object is placed near an uncharged object, its charges rearrange themselves. In other words, those charges attracted to the charged object move towards the charged object and those charges repelled move away. This effect is known as polarization.…

The more charges you get on the balloon the further away they will move from one another because the charges will be stronger and they will repel more strongly and rapidly.…

    The puck is affected by how close the charges are to it and what the puck's charge is. For example if the puck is positive the positive charges are repelled; the arrow grows longer and away from the puck as the positive charges move closer to the puck. IF the puck is positive and the charges are negative, the arrow grows larger as the negative charges move closer and points toward the charge.…

    NEGATIVE CHARGE Think If a piece of gold is rubbed with a piece of wool, which object loses electrons Explain using the electrostatic series. The wool is at the top of the electrostatic series so will lose electrons and have a positive charge. The gold is lower on the electrostatic series so gold will gain electrons and have a negative charge. If a piece of gold is rubbed with a piece of wool, the wool loses electrons. The gold gains electrons. Wool is an electron giver and gold is an electron taker. Name one substance that will get a negative charge when rubbed on ebonite. Copper, rubber or gold Name one substance that will get a positive charge when rubbed on ebonite. acetate, glass, wool or human hair One piece of glass is rubbed with silk. A second piece of glass is rubbed with a rubber balloon. What will be the charge on both pieces of glass The glass will have a positive charge when rubbed with either silk or rubber. Which piece of glass will have a stronger charge and explain why. The glass rubbed with rubber will have a stronger positive charge because rubber and glass are further apart on the…

    This video shows the experiment done using a balloon. After setting the paper on fire with the matchsticks, the oxygen in the bottle was used up. When the balloon was placed on top of the bottle, the air inside created a vacuum sucking the balloon in on its own. it is shown that burning paper heats the air trapped inside the bottle which caused the heat to expand. After around 10-20 seconds, the flame/fire inside the bottle died, causing the air trapped inside to cool. This resulted in lower forces inside the bottle, leaving the outside with more force. The balloon is then pushed into the bottle due to the fact that there was lower pressure in the bottle and greater pressure outside the…

    The Red Balloon Essay

    When the boy leaves the balloon outside to buy from a bakery, the schoolboys steal the balloon. And now that they finally have the object of their desires, the boys use slingshots to hurl stones at it. Eventually, the boy manages to rescue the balloon, but the reunion is short-lived, as the schoolboys chase him around town to steal the balloon again. In this encounter, there is clear hostility in the schoolboys' intentions as they physically hold the boy down and continue to pelt the balloon with rocks. And it all culminates when one boy steps on the balloon, popping it. This action fully captures the idea that "if i can't have it, no one can." After being refused the balloon on multiple occasions now, the boys began to lose hope that they would ever get the balloon. However, the lust for the balloon was still there, and the combination of that wanting and rejection quickly evolved into a certain spite for the balloon. Malice in their hearts now, the schoolboys set out to break the balloon for some sense of vengeance, satisfaction, and perhaps…
