Answer: Electrons jump from you to the handle.

Explanation: By walking on carpet, friction causes the rubber in your shoes to pick up electrons and then when you touch a metal doorknob you will feel a shock as the <u>electrons jump from your body into the doorknob.</u>

Answer: Electrons from the door handle jump onto you.

→ Remember, only electrons can be shared, so there is no way protons nor neutrons could "jump" onto you.


Why exactly does this happen?

When you walk through the carpet, you get charged, because of the friction  caused by your shoes while walking. So, when you get charged, the electrons on the door handle interact with you.

Elis [28]

Answer:

246

Explanation:

Increased amount / current population = 972

Amount released = 108

time(t) = 2years

Using the exponential growth function :

f(t) = A*g^t

Where g = growth rate

To obtain the growth rate = g

972 = 108 * g^2

g^2 = 972 / 108

g^2 = 9

g = 3

To determine population after 9 months :

9 months to years = (9/12) = 0.75

t = 0.75

f(0.75) = 108*(3^0.75)

f(0.75) = 108 * 2.2795070

f(0.75) = 246.18676

= 246

Which compound is a metabolic intermediate of the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis?
timama [110]
<span>Light dependent reactions require an actual source of light, and this is from the sun, for energy to carry out the first stage of photosynthesis. They need solar energy to split a water molecule in order to obtain electrons from hydrogen to be used in fueling photosynthesis. Light independent reactions do not require a light source for energy but rather they use energy that was created by the light dependent reactions to complete the process of photosynthesis in which different carbohydrates for the plant are made.</span>
