Why does carpet tend to produce differences in static electricity more that hardwood or tile floors

Physics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges, called electrons, which can build up on one object to produce a static charge. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, electrons can transfer onto you, building up a static charge on your skin.

Explanation:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges

Consider the following True/False statements:
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6) False

7) True

8) False

9) False

10) False

11) True

12) True

13) True

14) True

Explanation:

The spacing between two energy levels in an atom shows the energy difference between them. Clearly, B has a greater value of ∆E compared to A. This implies that the wavelength emitted by B is greater than A while B will emit fewer, more energetic photons.

When atoms jump from lower to higher energy levels, photons are absorbed. The kinetic energy of the incident photon determines the frequency, wavelength and colour of light emitted by the atom.

The energy level to which an atom is excited is determined by the kinetic energy of the incident electron. As the voltage increases, the kinetic energy of the electron increases, the further the atom is from the source of free electrons, the greater the required kinetic energy of free electron. When electrons are excited to higher energy levels, they must return to ground state.

Speed=100m/sec<br> Frequency=10 Hz<br> Wavelength=?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Wavelength = 10 m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = 100 ms^{-1}

Frequency = 10 Hz = 10 s^{-1}

To find : Wavelength = ?

We know that the relationship between wavelength λ, frequency f and speed v is given by the equation

    v = fλ

Therefore wavelength λ = v/f

                                        = 100 ms^{-1} / 10 ms^{-1}

                                        = 10 m

Hence wavelength = 10 m

The diagram below shows the velocity vectors for two cars that are moving relative to each other.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The answer is "5 \ \frac{m}{s} \ west"

Explanation:

\to \vec{V_1} = (25 \frac{m}{s}) (\hat{-i})\\\\\to  \vec{V_2} = (20 \frac{m}{s}) (\hat{-i})\\\\

velocity of car | respect to car :

\to \vec{V_{12}} = \vec{V_1} - \vec{V_2}\\\\

          =\vec{-25} \hat{i}+ \vec{20} \hat{i}\\\\= 5 \ \frac{m}{s} \ west
