Rubbing both pieces cause each piece to have a negative charge.
When two parts have the same they repel each other, so holding one piece up tot he end of the other piece would push it away.
Because one piece is held in the middle by a string, it would rotate the piece in a circle.
If they held the piece to the other end of the one held by a string it would start to rotate in the opposite direction.
The splitting of the atomic nucleus into parts
According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion</u> “<em>The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.</em>
In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period 
of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size 
of its orbit.
This Law is originally expressed as follows:
<h2>
(1)
</h2>
Where;
is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 
is the mass of Jupiter
is the semimajor axis of the orbit Io describes around Jupiter (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)
If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:
<h2>
(2)
</h2>
Then:
<h2>
(3)
</h2>
Which is the same as:
<h2>
</h2>
Therefore, the answer is:
The orbital period of Io is 42.482 h
