The answer is A, friction.

Friction is the force that resists movement, and that's why oil is used as a lubricant and why ball bearings are used for machines that need to move with very little friction(i.e. bike wheels, roller skates, fidget spinners)

Answer B is too vague
C will probably reduce efficiency greatly, but not specifically in a way that turns work into thermal energy.
D is the same as C, except that it places the blame on the person using the machine, not the machine itself.


Hope I helped clear it up for you :)

Friction- action of one surface or object rubbing against one another

Describe the Global Carbon Cycle
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

carbon gets released by burning of fossil fuels or gets released from rocks that contain carbon, gets brought into the atmosphere and gets absorbed by clouds, then it rains onto the land or bodies of water and gets returned to the earth by getting eaten by vertabrates or invertabrates or consumed by plants and held in the roots and the wood. the carbon can be returned to the earth by feces of animals, respiration,(its released into the atmosphere) and by floating down to the bottom of a lake or river and back into the sediment. in a few million years of breakdown of dead animals and plants in the ground it will become oil and fossil fuels and then be reused if humans are on the earth still using fossil fuels.(press f to doubt)
