Answer:
b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.
Explanation:
Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.
Since we're talking about the same car, the value of will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.
After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.

Answer:
A. 5 m/s
Explanation:
From the graph, for the first 2 seconds, the graph is a straight line meaning that the slope is a constant.
Average speed of an object is the rate of change of position. Here, the position of the object changes from 0 m to 10 m for a time interval of 2 seconds.
The change in position () and time interval (
) are given as:
Therefore, the average speed () is given as the ratio of the total change in position and the time interval for the change.
Hence, the average speed is 5 m/s.
