Gizmos - Pith Ball Lab Answer key 100% Correct

Gizmo Warm-up The girl’s hair was attracted to the balloon by the electrostatic force, a force between all charged objects. Most objects acquire a charge (q) by gaining or losing electrons. Objects that gain electrons become negatively charged, while objects that lose electrons become positively charged.

The Pith Ball Lab Gizmo™ shows two pith balls hanging by strings. Pith balls are made from lightweight material that can easily acquire a charge. To begin, check that the charge on each pith ball (q1 and q2) is 0.0 × 10-6 coulombs (C).

Question: What factors affect the force between charged objects? 1. Summarize: Summarize what you have learned so far by filling in the blanks: If the two charges are the same, the force is repulsive. If the two charges are opposite, the force is attractive. If one of the charges is zero, the force is zero.* *Note: For simplicity, the Pith Ball Lab Gizmo does not show induced charge. An induced charge occurs when a charged object is brought near a neutral object, causing the electrons in the neutral object to move away from or towards the charged object. This results in an attractive force between the charged object and the neutral object. 2. Predict: How do you think the strength of electrostatic force is related to the charges on the balls and the distance between them? Predictions will vary. 3. Observe: Set q1 to -5.0 × 10-6 C. Gradually decrease q2 below 0.0 × 10-6 C. A. What do you observe? As q2 decreases, the pith balls are repelled farther and farther apart
