B. Sand.
Sand would definitely increase friction because of the roughness of it surface. When its surface comes with another rough surface it would tend to increase friction. All other options given tend to reduce friction one way or the other.
Answer:
Protons have a much larger volume than neutrons.
Explanation:
Protons have a slightly smaller mass than neutrons.
Protons have a positive charge.
Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus.
Answer:
Here's what I find.
Explanation:
Iodine-131
Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.
The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.
Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.
Plutonium-239
Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.
However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.
It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
Answer:
The partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa
Explanation:
Volume off the flask = 0.001 
Mass of the gas = 1.15 gm = 0.00115 kg
Temperature = 25 ° c = 298 K
Gas constant for Argon R = 208.13 
From ideal gas equation P V = m RT
⇒ P = 
Put all the values in above formula we get
⇒ P =
× 208.13 × 298
⇒ P = 71.326 K pa
Therefore, the partial pressure of argon in the flask = 71.326 K pa
