What are three examples of situations where electrostatic forces can be observed?
Crackle of nylon clothing, Lightning, Rubbing a ballon on your hair and sticking pieces of hair with it.
When you rub a balloon on your hairwhat go's to the balloon?
The friction between two different materials in the right combination (this case your hair and a rubber balloon) causes free valence electrons (the electrons in the outer most orbit around an atom) to move from one item to the other, causing an excess of electrons (negative charge) in one and a deficit (positive) in the other. When put near the paper with an opposite charge, the paper will jump to the balloon. Opposites attract.
Does rubbing alcohol do anything to hair?
Dries it out, big time!
Give a practical example of static electricity?
An example is rubbing your head with a balloon. If you rubbed hard enough, your hair should stand up. Also, when you are VERY close to lightning, your hair stands up!!
How rubbing the balloon on your hair and your hair will stick onto the balloon?
because she her hair was the negative charged into the balloon which it caused it to stick to the balloon....does that answer your question...
Is rubbing a ballon in your hair a static charge?
yes

How does a balloon get a charge from rubbing it on the hair?
Friction pulls electrons from the hair to the balloon. This makes the hair positive, and the balloon negative.
What are some of the effects electricity has on matter?
your hair is sticking up after rubbing a ballon on your head.rubbing your feet on a carpet then touching a doorknob and getting shocked as a result.

What is the kind of electricity you create by rubbing a balloon on your head?
Rubbing a balloon on your head creates static electricity. This occurs due to the transfer of electrons between the balloon and your hair, causing the balloon to become negatively charged. The negatively charged balloon can then attract or repel other objects, creating small electrical sparks or causing your hair to stand on end.
Why does rubbing your hair with a balloon cause static electricity?
This has to do with the charge of the objects. Positively charged items stick to negatively charged items (think "opposites attract"). Though objects like hair and balloons are generally neutral (without a charge) and do not attract anything, this can be changed through the transfer of electrons. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that can be transferred between items through contact. When you rub a balloon on your hair, the contact between your hair and the balloon allows electrons to be transferred, known as the triboelectric effect. Some materials are more likely to gain electrons and become more negative, while others are more likely to lose electrons and become more positive. In the case of hair and a balloon, the electrons are transferred from your hair to the balloon, so the balloon becomes negative. Now that electrons have been transferred, your hair and the balloon are of opposite charged and attract one another; therefore, your hair sticks to the balloon. Before the balloon contacts the hair, they both have a stable balance of electrons and protons. Once the balloon is rubbed on the hair, it takes electrons from the hair. Thus leaving the hair positively charged and the balloon negatively charged. Once the balloon is pulled away the hair sticks to it. This happens because opposite charges attract and since the hair was positively charged, and the balloon is negatively charged, they attract.
Why does rubbing your hair with a ruler cause static electricity?
Free electrons get migrated right from one to the other which leaves those as oppositely charged.
What is something with a ribbon?
a ballon, a package, a present, a hair bow, a bonnet
What determines the shape of your hair?
rubbing poo into your hair
Does vasaline work with hair?
yes it compleatly does rubbing into your hair
Why does a balloon stick to the celing when rubbed?
1. Rubbing the balloon to your hair causes the balloon to "steal" electrons from your hair. 2.The balloon has a buildup of electron so it has a negative charge. your hair has lost electrons so it becomes positively charged. 3.Because opposites attract the negatively charged balloon will stick or if there are enough electrons on the balloon they will try and "Jump" the wall and will make a small zap by:Zimran Reubin
