Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t

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.

1. Answer: A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.
A skydiver free falls under gravity but her rate of fall slows down due to drag -air resistance. when this air resistance becomes equal to her weight, the two get balanced and the body does not accelerate or decelerates.
2. Answer: Gravity
Contact forces are those which act when there is physical contact between two bodies. For example: normal force, tension and spring force.
Non-contact forces act between two bodies even when they are at a distance apart. For example: gravity, electric force, magnetic force etc.
3. Answer: The tendency of an object's motion to remain the same.
Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of which it tends to remain in its state of motion or rest. It does depend on mass of the object, more the mass, more is inertia. For example, cycle can be easily moved but we need real push hard for a car to move.
4. Answer: 254 N
The man pushes the box with 310 N force at an angle of 55 degrees to the horizontal.
we can write this in terms of horizontal ()and vertical component (
).
Horizontal component:
Vertical component:
The vertical component would act towards the floor making the job more difficult to move the job.
