The so called fly away hair effect of electrostatics is when every single hair on your body stands up. It is mostly seen at the top of the head where the hair is longer.
This is caused by the ionization of the hair surfaces when your body accumulates a static charge. As electrons are driven off into the air, each of the hairs assumes the same charge and they repel each other. This is more apparent in cold, dry weather when there are fewer water molecules in the air (these block the ionization).

What does the cariolis effect mean?
Coriolis force. Imagine standing exactly at the north pole. Take one step away, and your foot experiences a slight sideways force because the ground you have stepped on is moving sideways, (rotation of the earth), and it wasn't at the north pole itself. Happens everywhere where the radius of rotation is changing. This effect causes the circulatory patterns you see on weather forecast maps.

Condition in which dopller effect is not applicable?
in the vacuum of space. the Doppler effect depends on the time sound takes to travel through air, and the apparent change in that sound based on how far away it is as it approaches, passes and moves away from your stationary position. (if your position is not stationary, the effect is accelerated based on your speed as well as the speed of the moving (sounding) object or mechanism. since there is no air in space through the sound would have to travel, there should be (in theory) no Doppler effect in space. if you go into space and learn otherwise - let us earthbound humans know!
What does the Doppler effect look like?
The Doppler effect describes how the frequency of a wave changes depending on the relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer. For sound waves, this effect causes a change in pitch as the source moves towards or away from the observer. For light waves, the Doppler effect causes a shift in color towards the blue end of the spectrum as objects move towards an observer and towards the red end as they move away.
Does caffeine make us hyperactive?
Caffeine causes excitement of the nervous system (unlike alcohol that has depressant action). Yet it causes mildest increase in activity such as insomnia. Tolerance takes away even this effect.
Can erosion effect water animals and plants?
No, I personally do not think so. Erosion only causes rocks and cliffs to wear away and the wind grinds them into sand.
When light waves are stretched by an object moving away from us?
The light waves are redshifted, meaning their wavelengths increase and their frequencies decrease. This effect is due to the Doppler effect, where the motion of the object causes a shift in the observed wavelength of light.
Why does pepper move when you touch it with soap?
When you touch a pepper with soap, the surface tension of the water is disrupted. This causes the pepper to move away from the areas where the soap is present, as the water molecules pull away from the soap. This reaction creates a pushing effect that moves the pepper away from the soap.
How can a person observe the Doppler effect?
A person can observe the Doppler effect by noticing changes in the pitch of sound as a source of sound moves relative to the observer. For example, an ambulance siren sounds higher pitched as it approaches and lower pitched as it moves away. In astronomy, the Doppler effect causes shifts in the color of light from stars as they move towards or away from Earth.
When a sound source is moving away from an observer the observer will hear a lower pitch. This is due to?
the Doppler effect, which causes the observed frequency of a sound wave to decrease as the source moves farther away from the observer. As the sound waves spread out over a larger distance, the observer perceives a lower pitch.
What has to happen for the Doppler effect to occur?
The Doppler effect is defined as an increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other. The effect causes the sudden change in pitch noticeable in a passing siren, as well as the redshift seen by astronomers.
The apparent shift in the spectrum of a star as it moves toward or away from the earth is explained by the phenomenon known as the?
Doppler effect. This effect causes the wavelengths of light from a star to appear shorter (blueshifted) as it moves towards the Earth and longer (redshifted) as it moves away, providing valuable information about the star's motion in space.
What happens to the wavelength of light as an object is moving away from you?
As an object moves away from you, the wavelength of light appears to lengthen, known as redshift. This is a result of the Doppler effect, where the motion of the object causes the light waves to stretch out. The further the object moves away, the more stretched out the light waves become.
How does does the Doppler effect relate to a passing siren?
Sound is a wave; the sound wave is distorted by the Doppler effect. You can clearly hear the change in pitch, from the point where the car approaches you, to the point where it moves away from you.
