Answer: static electricity builds up because of imbalance of charges between objects and its greater during cold winter because Since water allows electrons to travel freely, it’s less likely for static charges to build up in an environment where water is present. This is why static electricity is rarely an issue in the summertime — humid summer air holds more water than dry winter air.

Answer: c. Negative charges are transferred to you from the carpet on both warm and cold days, but these excess negative charges do not remain on you. Instead, they are removed almost immediately by humid air

Explanation:

Humid air is a better conductor than dry air and as such discharges you as soon as negative charges get to you from a carpet because it is constantly discharging you.

Dry air as already mentioned is not as good a conductor as warm air and so the excess charges remain in the air. This is why one is more likely to experience static shock on a cold, dry day

Which of the following best describes why most Africans were in the American colonies?
Alona [7]

Answer:

Black people were brought to the Americas as slaves against their will, mainly to work on farms and plantations. The vast amounts of crops that farmers planted needed people to work them, and others were too expensive to hire.

Explanation:

Most African Americans were brought to the Americas as children, which were smuggled from their home and shipped through the middle passage. Some people freed these African Americans after they died, but life was hard for people of color, as they would often be brought back into slavery after having nowhere to work.
