A balloon is rubbed against fabric to create an electrostatic force, or static electricity, between the two objects. How does the force
affect the motion of the objects?
OA. The balloon pops and the fabric falls apart.
OB. The objects are repelled away from each other.
OC. The objects are attracted toward each other.
OD. The objects are not affected by the force.

The electrostatic force created between a balloon and fabric affects the motion of the objects. Here's how: 1. When the balloon is rubbed against the fabric, it gains an excess of electrons, becoming negatively charged, while the fabric loses electrons, becoming positively charged. 2. Opposite charges attract each other according to the basic principle of electrostatics. 3. Therefore, the balloon (negatively charged) and fabric (positively charged) will be attracted towards each other due to the electrostatic force between them. So, the correct answer to how the force affects the motion of the objects is: OC. The objects are attracted toward each other.
