Answer:

Correct answer is b(Through friction between her feet and the carpet)

Explanation:

Whenever we rub our body against carpet or any other object made of fiber materials that time frictional force act. Due to frictional force our body get some extra electron.

When Tracy scuff her feet across a carpet, That time due to friction between her feet and carpet she got some extra electrons. These Electrons can move easily through conductor. When Tracy touched the doorknob which is made up of some metal(conductor) and has positive charge that time extra electrons moved from Tracy to the knob. Due to quick movement of electrons Tracy gets a small shock.

How many protons are in this atom if it has a balanced charge? 0 2 4 6

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

For an atom to have a balanced charged, the number of protons shall be equal to the number of electrons of an atom. proton is the positive part of an atom whereas electrons are the negative part of an atom. Only if the number of protons will be equal to the number of electron, the atom will be able to be neutral.

If the number of electron will be more, then the atom will be negative. If the number of electron will be less, then the atom will be positive.

It decomposes in a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s–1. how long would it take for an initial concentration of 0

VikaD [51]

The rate constant of a reaction can be computed by the ratio of the changes in the concentration and time take taken for it to decompose. Thus, if the rate constant is given to be 14 M/s, we have

$rate = \frac{-(C_{new} - C_{old})}{t}$

where C are the concentration values and t is the time taken for it to decompose.

$14 = \frac{-(0.02 - 0.06)}{t}$
$t = 0.003 s$

Thus, it will take 0.003 s for it to decompose.
Answer: 0.003 s

What is friction and explain

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.
