5. If you rub a balloon on a piece of fabric or carpeting and then hold it against your head, your hair can stand on end. Use what you have learned in this lesson to explain why this happens.

If you rub a balloon on a piece of fabric or carpet it will cause friction. If you rub a balloon on your head then because of friction your hair will fly around trying to attract to the balloon.

Hope this helped!

Also I know where you got this question from. You got it from the Assignment for 3.05. Am I right? I am in FLVS. are you too?
