C) Elements combine in different ways to create many more than 92 compounds.

Explanation:

The number of elements we have relates to the compound formation in that, elements combine in different ways to create many more than 92.

Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split up into simpler substances. Such substances are only made up of one kind of atom.

Compounds are substances that are made up of two or more kinds of atoms joined together in a definite grouping.

Several millions of compounds are known because elements can combine in different ways.
The number of elements do not increase because new elements are discovered, it is because elements have several ways by they combine.

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

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.

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