True or False: You walk across a carpet and accumulate a net negative charge on the soles of your shoes. When you touch your sis

ter with your finger and give her a small zap, the charge that accumulated on your finger is due to charging by contact.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Charging by conduction occurs when a charged conductor comes in contact with an uncharged conductor, leading to the sharing of charges between both conductors. Contact charging leads to a sharing and distribution of the same type of charges on the two conductors.

In this case, your entire body is charged by the sole of your feet coming in contact with the charged carpet on the floor, leading to a charge buildup all over your body.

When developing an experiment design, which could a scientist take to improve the quality of the results?
Bad White [126]

The options missing are;

A. Make only a few changes to the manipulated variable.

B. Identify any biases about the answer to the scientific question.

C. Include as many details as possible when writing the conclusion.

D. Share her ideas through peer review.

Answer:

B. Identify any biases about the answer to the scientific question.

Explanation:

Since the question is asking what can be done to improve the quality of the results, it means what can the scientist do to make sure that the result answers the question properly and has little or no biases.

Thus, looking at the options, the only one that comes close to actually improving on the quality of the results before finalizing is option B where the scientist is to identify any biases.

Imagine you had a bar of gold and decided to cut in half. You repeated this process until eventually you could no longer cut the
nydimaria [60]

This would prove that gold is an <em>element</em>.  No matter how far down you
examine it, you never find any particles of anything except gold.

An example of a different case is salt. 
-- Imagine you had a block of salt and decided to cut it in half.
-- If you repeated this process, then eventually, at some point, you'd have
a tiny particle of salt in front of you, just like before.  BUT ...
-- Just as you were getting ready to cut this one in half, you'd notice that this
particle of salt is different.  It's one atom of sodium stuck to one atom of chlorine,
and if you cut it in half, you would not have ANY salt.   <span />

This would prove that salt is a <em><u>compound</u></em>, made of atoms of two or more elements.

Two workers in a holiday boutique are filling stockings with small gifts and candy. Kate has already filled 5 stockings and will
Vlad [161]

This question is stated in a complicated way, but all the information we need is right there waiting to be untangled.

We'll start the clock when Todd arrives.  At that time:

-- Kate has 5 done.  Todd has none yet.  Todd is 5 units behind.

From then on:

-- The clock is running.  Kate adds 4 an hour to her total.  Todd adds 5 an hour.

-- She started out 5 ahead of Todd when he arrived, but Todd does 1 more than Kate every hour.

-- So Kate's 'lead' shrinks by 1 every hour.

-- So <em>Todd will catch up with Kate</em> <em>in 5 hours</em>.

That's the answer to the question ... How long ?  It doesn't ask us how many stockings have been filled, but that's easy for us to figure out:

-- Kate had 5 done when the clock started.  She fills 4 every hour.  After 5 hours, she has (5 x 4) = 20 more filled, and a total of 25 ready to sell.

-- Todd started out with none done.  He fills 5 every hour.  After 5 hours, he has (5 x 5) = 25 filled and ready to sell.  He has caught up with Kate in 5 hours.
