Why do the hairs on your arm stand up when they come into contact with a balloon?
static electricity static electricity
What do you call it the hairs on your arm stand up?
When the hairs on your arm stand up, it's referred to as "piloerection." This physiological response occurs due to the contraction of tiny muscles at the base of hair follicles, often triggered by cold temperatures or strong emotions like fear or excitement. It's a remnant of our evolutionary past, where it helped animals appear larger to predators or retain body heat.
Why does a balloon cause the hair on your arm to raise?
Because of the static electricity.

Why do the hairs of your head stand up straight and apart from each other if you are given a strong enough charge?
The hairs on your head stand up straight and apart from each other when given a strong enough charge because they are all positively charged and repel each other due to the principle of electrostatics. This causes them to separate from each other and stand up straight.
What are the smooth muscle cells that stand hairs on end in response to cold known as?
Those are known as arrector pili muscles. They are responsible for contracting and causing hairs to stand up in response to cold or emotional stimuli.
Why do the hairs on your arm raise when a negatively charged balloon is near?
When a negatively charged balloon is near, it creates an electric field that influences the charges in your body. Electrons in your skin are repelled by the excess negative charge on the balloon, causing a slight positive charge to accumulate on the surface of your skin. This difference in charge induces polarization in the hairs on your arm, leading to a repulsive force that causes them to stand up. This phenomenon is a result of static electricity and electrostatic forces at play.
