What is the triboelectric effect?

Physics
1 answer:
SSSSS [86.1K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The triboelectric effect is an electrical phenomenon where certain materials become electrically charged after coming into contact with another, different, material. The polarity and strength of the charges produced differ according to material and surface smoothness.

Explanation:

The triboelectric effect causes an electrostatic charge to build up on the fur due to the cat's motions. The electric field of the charges results in a slight attraction of the light plastic pieces to the charged fur. The triboelectric effect is also the cause of static cling in clothes.

I hope this helps, if it doesn't then just message me and ill be more than happy to help :)

Why does a paper clip sink and a big ocean liner float? explain your answer.
slamgirl [31]

<span>Because of the density of the paperclip it sinks, but even though a boat is normally made of steal it contains an opposite force of gravity known as buoyancy. Buoyancy is the reason that a boat will float.  Boat density is less weight than the water they are in so this is one reason that they are floaters.</span>
