If you fall and skid to a stop on a carpeted floor, you can get a rug burn. Much of this discomfort comes from abrasion, but there can also be a real burn where the skin was too hot. When running, your body has energy.
When you fall, the friction between the carpet and your body transforms your initial energy into energy.
Because the surfaces in contact (your knees and the carpet) are heating up, it can result in a burn.

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? view available hint(s) which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? dispersion forces are the result of fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. dispersion forces are present in all atoms and molecules. dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass. dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions.
