Velocity is a vector meaning it includes an objects speed and direction.
B. the reason we must wear seat belts
Answer:
Stationary
20N
Explanation:
From the graph, we see that the body traveling is on a fixed position. Therefore, it is a stationary body.
The graph given is a position - time curve.
This curve depict a body changing position with given time.
Since the line of the curve is on a single position, the body is not changing position with the passage of time therefore, it is a stationary object.
B. 20N
From Newton's third law of motion we understand that "action and reaction force are equal but oppositely directed".
Since the person is exerting a force of 20N on the balance.
So, the reaction force by the balance is 20N upward.
Water boiling is an example of a physical change. The rest are chemical changes.
Hope that helps!!

<u>Friction:</u>
When an object slips on a surface, an opposing force acts between the tangent planes which acts in the opposite direction of motion. This opposing force is called Friction. Or in other words, Friction is the opposing force that opposes the motion between two surfaces.
The main component of friction are:
<u>Normal Reaction (R):
</u>
Suppose a block is placed on a table in the above picture, which is in resting state, then two forces are acting on it at that time.
The first is due to its weight mg which is working from its center of gravity towards the vertical bottom.
The second one is superimposed vertically upwards by the table on the block, called the reaction force (P). This force passes through the center of gravity of the block.
Due to P = mg, the box is in equilibrium position on the table.
<u>Coefficient of friction ( </u>μ )<u>:
</u>
The ratio of the force of friction and the reaction force is called the coefficient of friction.
Coefficient of friction, µ = force of friction / reaction force
μ = F / R
The coefficient of friction is volume less and dimensionless.
Its value is between 0 to 1.
<u>Advantage and disadvantage from friction force:
</u>
- The advantage of the force of friction is that due to friction, we can walk on the earth without slipping.
- Brakes in all vehicles are due to the force of friction.
- We can write on the board only because of the force of friction.
- The disadvantage of this force is that due to friction, some parts of energy are lost in the machines and there is wear and tear on the machines.
<u>How to reduce friction:
</u>
- Using lubricants (oil or grease) in machines.
- Friction can be reduced by using ball bearings etc.
- Using a soap solution and powder.
