A student attaches two identical balloons (X and Y) to the ceiling using a nylon thread so that the balloons are near each other. The table shows the observations from three different activities performed with the balloons.
What evidence supports that there is a non-contact force between the balloons?
Responses
The balloons are not in contact and tend to move away from each other when both are rubbed with wool.

ct and tend to move towards each other when one is rubbed with wool and the other is rubbed with rubber.
The balloons are not in contact and exhibit repulsion when an electrically charged rod is brought near them.
Overall, the evidence that supports a non-contact force between the balloons includes their behavior when influenced by different materials such as wool, rubber, and electrically charged rods. The fact that the balloons are not in contact but still exhibit repulsion or attraction indicates the presence of a force acting between them without direct contact.
