Answer:
shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away
Explanation:
In electrostatics, charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.
In this case, when a negative charge is placed on it, both the inventor and the shirt are charged, therefore there is a repulsive force, also there is an attraction between the positive charge of the roof attracts the negative charge, such as the shirt. of weak the two forces not greater than the resistance of the walk.
As the shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away
