Answer : Option C) Roughness of the surface and weight of the object.

Explanation : The factors that affect the forces of friction are roughness of the surface and weight of the object.

Friction is the force which resists the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements which are sliding against each other.

Friction depends on the normal force and the roughness of the surface which is in contact. When a body is placed on the ground, the mass of the body which is weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity, comes into play for the normal force from the ground. This clearly shows that friction is affected by weight as it depends on the mass of the object.

It also depends partly on the smoothness of the contacting surfaces, if a greater force being applied to move two surfaces past one another then they are rough, if they were smooth less force would have been applied for moving it.

Why does hydrogen have a -1 oxidation state in the compound NaH?

ruslelena [56]

your answer will be :

B. Na has a lower electronegativity than H

because Na belongs to alkali metals which are least electronegative (most electro positive) but hydrogen is a non metal, it has higher electronegativity as compared to metals like Sodium (Na).

Animals inherit traits from their parents. They pass some of these same traits on to their children. Suppose a pair of animals h

Fantom [35]

Answer:

A. The children will be more likely to survive than if they did not have the trait.

Explanation:

Process of elimination

B. It will not affect the children.

Cannot be true, if it didn't impact the children then how would survival of the fittest work?

D. The children will be able to adapt if the environment changes.

That just... not how adapting works when it comes to evolution.

C. The children will be more likely to survive than their parents were

Everyone has the same trait, everyone is equal in that regard.

A. The children will be more likely to survive than if they did not have the trait.

"Suppose a pair of animals has a trait that helps them survive in their environment." The trait helps them survive. Not having the trait makes them less likely to survive. A is correct
