Answer:

Otitis media is generally caused by dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, which can be due to Pharyngitis.

Explanation:

The otitis media is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear and is mostly caused by the inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nasopharynx leading to dysfunction of the Eustachian tube. This can be caused due to a upper respiratory tract viral infection or streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat) or due to some allergy.

Pharyngitis or sore throat is a type of inflammation caused by upper respiratory tract viral infection.

Therefore, Otitis media can be caused by Pharyngitis and thus it is associated with it.

Answer:

Static friction :

The frictional force resists force that is applied to an object, and the object remains at rest until the force of static friction is overcome. In kinetic friction, the frictional force resists the motion of an object.

Rolling friction :

Rolling friction occurs when a wheel, ball, or cylinder rolls freely over a surface, as in ball and roller bearings. The main source of friction in rolling appears to be dissipation of energy involved in deformation of the objects.
