The carpet is more likely to accumulate excess electric charge (static electricity) over time when there is no good way for it discharge. The dry air, as was said, insulates the carpet and makes it prone to such accumulation. This is less the case with humid air that allows the carpet to continuously discharge a portion of its electric charge over time and thus spares us--the walkers--a minor shock.
Dry air is a better electrical conductor than humid air, which is why you are more likely to receive a shock after walking across a carpet when the air is dry compared to when the air is humid.
The reason you are more likely to receive a shock after walking across a carpet when the air is dry than when the air is humid is because dry air is a better electrical conductor than humid air. When the air is dry, it has a lower field strength, meaning that it takes a smaller voltage to create a spark. On the other hand, humid air breaks down at a lower field strength, so it takes a larger voltage to create a spark. This is why you are more likely to get a shock on a dry day.

Explanation:
In general the word random means by chance. The event that occurs unknowingly rather than according to plan is called at its randomness.
But in science, the word random relates with a type of event that is described by its probability distribution.
Also, random means the entropy of the system i.e. it is a thermodynamic quantity that represents the amount of energy in the system that is unavailable for doing work.

Answer:
oxygen
Explanation:
I just did the assignment and that was the right answer.
if you increase either mass or velocity the momentum of an object increases proportionally if you double the mass or velocity you double the momentum.
Mass and velocity are both directly proportional to the momentum. If you increase either mass or velocity, the momentum of the object increases proportionally. If you double the mass or velocity you double the momentum.
The momentum is given by:
P=mv
Where P is momentum.
m is mass and v is velocity.
Therefore, the momentum is increased either by increasing mass or velocity.

Well you would use The equation Average Speed= Distance/Time
S=4/5
S= 0.8
When you're trying to find the distance and speed, you always use the equation:
Average Speed = Distance/Time
So your answer is:
S=4/5
S= 0.8
o temperature and pressure
only pressure
o only temperature
Answer:
Temperature and Pressure
Explanation:
Both temperature and pressure determine the volume of a gas in a closed container
