Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

F_s = \mu N

where \mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force F_p at an angle \theta, the normal force on the block becomes

N  = Mg- F_psin(\theta)

and hence the frictional force becomes

F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta)).

Now, as we increase \theta, sin(\theta) increases which as a result decreases the normal force Mg- F_psin(\theta), which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>W=mg<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

<h2>Answer: protons and neutrons. </h2>

The atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of protons and neutrons.

The nucleus of an atom has very small dimensions. However, it <u>occupies its central part and concentrates more than 99% of its total mass. </u>

It is in the nucleus that the protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge) are found.
