The energy was transferred from the slide to the child through induction, causing the child's hair to become charged and stand up.
Friction caused a transfer of electrons between the slide and the child, making each of his like-charged hairs repel each other.

how do you know?
I know this because when the child slides down the plastic slide, it generates a static charge due to friction. This static charge causes a transfer of electrons between the child and the slide, making each of his like-charged hairs repel each other. Therefore, the child's hair stands up after he slides down the slide.
oh okay, Thanks!
