Electric Repulsion of Tape
By ripping off 2 strips of tape from the table...
...we can electrically charge each piece, and depending on their charge they will either repel each other (-) and (-) or (+) and (+)...
...or they can attract each other if there is a positive charge in one tape and a negative in the other.
Observations, and explanations of the tape experiment.
We did some theoretical work on a swing example and came up with a relationship for Electric force. the work flow is a bit scatterbrained but the Force equation in the bubble holds the final most minimized function.
Like Charge Repulsion Experiment
The initial position plots made from the supplied video
A graph of the repulsion force vector in relation to distance between the two charged objects.
The graph made in logger pro shows that the electrical repulsion force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
Although the experimental data doesn't show that the force is EXACTLY inversely proportional to the square, it can be assumed that there is some error in the supplied data. There is a 15% difference between the theoretical and experimental derived formulas.
