A).  600,000 Hz  or  600 KHz
Yes.  Commercial broadcasters operate here.
This is the '600' on your AM radio dial.

B).  60 Hz
No.  In principle, this frequency might be used for communication or
commercial broadcasting, but it suffers from two inconvenient truths:
-- An efficient antenna for 60 Hz ... either transmitting or receiving ...
needs to be almost 780 miles long.
-- This is the frequency of the electric power utility in the US and
Canada, so every outlet, wire, cable, lamp cord, and electric line
on a pole RADIATES a little bit of signal at this frequency.  That's
an awful lot of interference.

C).  6,000,000 Hz  or  6 MHz
There's a lot of broadcasting activity here, but it's not commercial
music, news, and sports into local homes and cars. 
It's foreign short-wave broadcast, bringing news, propaganda, and
culture from one country to another.  Pretty interesting to browse.

D).  6,000 Hz  or  6 KHz.
No.  Not used for communication, for an interesting reason:
This frequency is smack in the middle of the human hearing range.
So if it were used for communication ... with high-power transmitters
here and there ... then you wouldn't hear it in the air.  But wherever
wires were being used to carry sound ... your stereo's speaker wires,
wires from your player to your ear-buds, wires to the telephones in
your house etc ... the wires would act as antennas, picking up 
broadcasts at 6 KHz, and the broadcasts would get into everything.
Not a smart plan.

Describe how the forces of gravity and friction affect the motion that occurs as you write on this page.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Friction is a force that slows down the motion of a moving object. ... Eventually, friction and gravity will work together to stop the motion of the slide. Gravity is a force that pulls two objects toward each other because of their mass. Mass is the measurement of the amount of material (matter) that makes up an object.

Pani-rosa [81]
<span>Even though the Sun has a greater mass than Earth, the Moon orbits Earth because it's closer to the Earth than to the Sun. Because of this proximity between the Earth and the Moon, the Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the Sun does. Furthermore, the Earth's mass is 81 times that of the Moon, and so at this proximity, it is more than able to overpower what pull the Sun exerts on the Moon.</span>
