Answer:

This is because of the static electricity which is generated in bodies due to friction. Time to time, the door knob gets touched by many people and the charge on it goes on increasing because of increasing friction. When the charge is increased much, after a considerable time, one may get a spark or a mild shock.

Earth characteristics compared to other planets (kids explanation)
jasenka [17]

While Earth is only the <u>fifth largest planet in the solar system</u>, it is <u>the only world </u>in <u>our solar system</u> with the life we know or are starting to know of, for example, us as human beings. Just slightly larger than nearby Venus, Earth is the biggest of the four planets closest to the Sun, all of which are made of rock and metal. Other planets such as Jupiter are not so likely to have life like us there, for it is full of gas we don't breathe, and gases which are harmful to us, unlike the oxygen we have here on earth.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

100 Watts

Explanation:

<u>These equations are needed to work out the answer:</u>

  • power= work done/ time taken
  • work done= force* distance
  • force= mass* acceleration

force: 10 kg* 2m/s= 20

work done: 20* 10m=200

power: 200/2=100
