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 :)

Based on Figure 1, which of the following statements best predicts the effect that a change from a moderately acidic environment
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Peroxidase activity increases and then decreases.

Explanation:

Peroxidase activity is greatly affected by the pH factor. Peroxidase works best at the pH of 7 while decrease or increase in pH will adversely affected its activity. So when change occurs from a moderately acidic environment having pH near 6 to a basic environment, the peroxidase activity increases when reach to neutral but decreases when go further to basic environment so we can say that peroxidase activity greatly affected on the pH of the solution.
