Why can a person get an electric shock when they walk across a room on a rug and touch a doorknob? a) electrons are transferred between their body and the carpet, so they have an electric charge. the shock happens when electrons jump between their body and the doorknob. b) electrons are transferred between your body and the carpet, so they have an electric charge. the shock happens when electrons jump between their body and the carpet. c) the shock happens when electrons jump directly between the carpet and the doorknob. d) electrons are made within their body, so they have an electric charge. the shock happens when electrons jump between their body and the doorknob.

Stars x and y are both bluish main sequence stars. star x has a higher absolute brightness than star y. how do the two stars compare? explain

Anne applies a force on a toy car and makes it move forward. what can be said about the forces acting on the toy car at the moment anne applies the force?

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.
