If we take a cold air balloon and charge it with electrostatic charge, and suspend this in air. Get another obstacle and charge that with the same static charge. When both balloon and the obstacles are close to each other; the balloon repels the same charge and moves away from it. Think of this and the balloon sometimes, spins as it moves; can you explain the movement of this simple experiment with classic relativity and cross reference this with classical mechanics.
Your question isn't clear. Anyway if your question concerns the spin of balloon, it is due to variable modalities of application of the repulsive electrostatic force. In fact you report this spin happens sometimes.
Hi Daniele,
Yes, I am concentrating on the spin rather then the balloon repels on its own.
A - Is there a formula to define this spin effect of the balloon under electrostatic force?
B - Would this be related to conservation of energy laws, e.g. conservation of momentum?
What would you say?
In all physical phenomena that we observe conservation fundamentals laws are valid, therefore also in phenomenon that you considered. In that case nevertheless the cause ot the aleatory effect is itself aleatory, because it depends on the modality of application of the repulsive electrostatic force. In general when the applied force isn't perfectly balanced with respect to the mass distribution (gas but also in other physical states) the effect can be a spin besides a translation.
So, because of the aleatory effect we cannot predict which way the balloon would spin!
But can we calculate the forces acting between them, before the phenomenon of static force is neutralized via a conductive surface or testing apparatus.
Dear Sezai,
when in considered phenomenon there is spin, then in that case the angular moment with respect to the centre of mass, due to the repulsive electrostatic force, causes the spin and this movement can be explained well through laws of non-relativistic mechanics.
Dear Daniele Sasso,
I can understand the phenomenon of relativity, is to take measurement of an objects momentum relating to another objects' position at a given time.
Going back to original question,
However, the model is not sufficiently precise, lacking a clear understanding of the structure of the representation and the observation process and a complete interpretation of the concept of classical mechanics.
How would you define the term classical and non-classical mechanics?
According to adopted agreements classical mechanics coincides with the Newtonian dynamics and non-classical mechanics coincides with the Einsteinian electrodynamics.
