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.

Answer:
C)T
Explanation:
The period of a mass-spring system is:
As can be seen, the period of this simple harmonic motion, does not depend at all on the gravitational acceleration (g), neither the mass nor the spring constant depends on this value.
Answer : The final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J
Solution :
(1) The equation used is,
where,
= final internal energy
= initial internal energy
q = heat energy
w = work done
(2) The known variables are, q, w and
initial internal energy = = 2000 J
heat energy = q = 1000 J
work done = w = 500 J
(3) Now plug the numbers into the equation, we get
(4) By solving the terms, we get
(5) Therefore, the final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J
