Static electricity is generated when two materials are rubbed together, with one gaining electrons and becoming negatively charged and the other losing electrons and becoming positively charged, as determined by their ranking on the triboelectric series. The triboelectric series ranks materials based on their tendency to gain or lose electrons through friction, with materials higher on the list more likely to become positively charged when rubbed against those below. Car tires are made of conducting rubber to prevent a buildup of static electric charge while driving.
This document discusses different magnetic materials like cobalt, iron, nickel, and steel. It explains that magnets have two poles called North and South and that the North pole of a magnet will line up with the geographic North pole of Earth when allowed to swing freely. The document also mentions induced magnetization can be temporary or permanent, as well as hard or soft. Additionally, it states that wrapping a wire carrying a current produces a magnetic effect around the wire, referring to electromagnets.
Sound is produced by vibrating sources and travels as longitudinal waves, causing vibrations that can be transmitted through solids, liquids, and gases. An oscilloscope can measure sound waves and display them as waveforms, with loudness determined by amplitude and pitch by frequency. The speed of sound varies in different materials and is calculated by dividing distance by time.
