When a man walks across the carpet and reaches for the door knob, why does he get shocked? doorknob Question 3 options: There is

an electric current in the door knob The carpet was exposed to electricity. Atoms are moving faster in the door knob than in his hand When he drags his feet across the carpet he gains an electric charge, and then the electrons jump from his hand to the doorknob.

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity. When you grab a doorknob, electrons jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity, giving you a shock.

<h3>What is static electricity?</h3>

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity.

The charge will persist until it can be moved away by an electric current or an electrical discharge.

when we walk on the carpet with socks our feet slide electrons off the carpet.  it leads to leaving you with a slightly negative static charge.

When you grab a doorknob electrons jump from your hand to the knob which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

Due to the static electricity jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

Five hundred million years ago, basaltic lava flowed in an area now known as Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson.
aev [14]

Explanation:

               Igneous -  metamorphic -  sedimentary

A rock cycle provides the cyclic transformation of one rock type to another in nature.

There are three main types of rock involved in the rock cycle;

  • igneous rocks are derived from the cooling and solidification of molten magma
  • metamorphic rocks are changed rocks subjected to intense pressure and temperature
  • sedimentary rocks are derived from rock sediments that have been lithified.

The history of the rock in Monticello begins with igneous rock formation. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Under intense pressure and temperature regimes, they are changed to metamorphic rocks.

Agents of denudation such as wind, water and glacier weathers the rock and disintegrates it. They are then carried into basins where they are deposited. Here they form sedimentary rock.

The process still goes on as the sedimentary rock gets taken into depth, they can either melt to form igneous rock or be changed to metamorphic rocks.

Why do we see black? Is light being admitted reflected or absorbed or transmitted
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:When white light strikes an object, each individual frequency of light is transmitted, reflected, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface molecules. If all frequencies are absorbed by the object, then it appears black. If all frequencies are reflected, then it appears white.

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface
