Answer:An object in free fall falls under gravity alone with no friction

Explanation:

Gravity in physics is explained as that force which pulls us down towards the center of the earth; helps us not to float .

What does friction mean?

Friction is a force that acts in an opposite direction to that of the object's movement .

So if the object is not pushed in an opposite direction by any force it will fall freely , it will fall and roll down or it will fall and continue to move in its direction for example an orange falling from a tree ( pulled by gravity) without any force opposing it's movement it will fall continue sliding or rolling down unless there is something hindering it's movement.

Another example is, if you were running and reach a corner and decided to halt your shoes will act as a friction to help you stop immediately.

However if you run in the rain and the road is slippery or there are puddles on the road, when you want to slow down or stop the friction will be less.

The less friction means the harder it is to halt which also occurs when you drive during rain weather .

It is hard to stop the car in time due to less friction on the tires which is reduced by the slippery wet road .

An object will fall and slide down unless some opposing force is there to oppose that movement , that is what free fall means.

Naily [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. Public compliance; private acceptance.

Explanation:

Public compliance can be understood as the social phenomena that occur when a group of people superficially agree on a particular thing, usually to get social approval.

<u>Private acceptance can be understood as a more personal change in attitude that individuals experience when they are fundamentally convinced of something they may have not seen before, but do not express it loudly and socially.  </u>

In this particular case, when the participants of the standard experiments were able to write their responses on a piece of paper, conformity dropped dramatically. This means that during the experiments the level of public compliace were high while the levels of private acceptance were low.

In conclusion, the correct answer is a. Public compliance; private acceptance.
