So I'm sure everyone has heard that "opposites attract." Regarding people, this does not always hold true. It does sound logical, but so does "birds of a feather flock together." However, because physics is not the same as psychology, the former line holds true for us.
There are three types of charges: positive, neutral, and negative. Positive and negative charges attract. Neutral and any charge save for another neutral charge attract. Same charges repel, again, with the exception of neutral charges. When there are two neutral charges, they do no react in any way.
(These make fun brainteasers.)
In class, we had to experiment with tape. Gabe and I worked as a pair to deduce whether or not certain pieces of tape had different charges. It was pretty cool, considering that I've never played with charged tape...or tape at all...
...The deer were all attracted to him.
haha i totally get it! but i think you should have analyzed on charges more than physical attraction...
ReplyDeletehaha, nice picture. I like how you relate the things we learn in physics to other things in the world.
