What type of electricity is shuffling your feet across a carpet?
Static electricity.
If someone walks across a carpet and touch a doorknob and get a shock what caused it?
When you walk across the carpet you pick up stray electrons. Those electrons then transfer from you to the doorknob when you touch it causing a shock.
Why do you get an electic shock if you touch a doorknob after walking across a carpet?
static electricity
If a force is required to pull a 20 kg box across a carpeted floor what is typically true about another force required to pull the box across the ice at a rink?
Pulling a box across ice requires less force than pushing the same box across carpet. This is due to the amount of friction between the carpet and box and the lack of friction between the ice and the box.
Why static electricity sparks if you shuffle across the carpet wearing rubber soled shoes in dry air?
Static electricity sparks if you shuffle across the carpet wearing rubber soled shoes in dry air because of the dissociation of the negative electrons. This imbalance occurs along the bottom of our shoes as they come in contact with the dissimilar material of the carpet.?æ
If you walk briskly across a carpet you often experience a spark on touching a door knob.what causes this?
friction.
How does shuffling feet across a carpet produce electricity?
Your feet get electrons from the substance of the carpet which produces electricity. Try touching someone afterwards.
The shock from scuffing your feet across the carpet and touching someone else would be the most unpleasant if?
it were a dry winter day
Shock that a person gets when touching a metal doorknob after walking across a carpet is caused by?
static electricity (kinitic)
What is happening when you walk across a carpet and receive a shock when you touch a metal object?
Walking across a carpet can cause charge separation, which creates static electricity. You become electrically charged. When you get zapped touching a door knob, the static charge you had built up is discharging.

Why do you get an electric shock when you walk across a nylon carpet and then touch a metal handle?
Walking across a nylon carpet can cause charge separation between you and the carpet. You take on an electrostatic charge as a result. Touching a door knob allows that charge you accumulated to neutralize via a discharge event. The static discharge is the electric shock.
How does shuffling your feet across a floor do with electricity?
When you shuffle your feet across a carpet your feet get electrons from the carpet which make static electricity
When walking across a carpet is an example of?
Friction:)
Why does it take more force to slid a heavy box across carpet that it does to slide it across a tiled floor?
The carpet provides more friction
