l wheels provide more grip, making it easier to stop a train.
B) Rubber tires don't provide enough friction to allow the train to move.
C) Steel wheels increase friction, thus making it easier to move the load.
D) Steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.

D) steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.  Friction between rubber and steel would be greater than steel and steel.  Friction creates heat, which represents a loss of energy (which has to come from somewhere else - likely from the kinetic energy of the train)

Luden [163]
If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles.  Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home).  In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.

A compound microscope is equipped with two objective lenses (10x and 45x) and has a 10x ocular lens. The highest magnification a
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

450X

Explanation:

When a specimen is been viewed, both

objective and ocular lenses works together so that the object is magnified.

From the question,objective lenses are;

1)10x

2)45x

ocular lens= 10x

Highest magnification

= 10X ocular × 45X objective

=450X

This implies that the image that was viewed will appear 450 times the actual size.
