Answer: The correct answer is -

B. Because an increase in oxytocin level increases the contractions.

Explanation:

A positive feedback occurs when the output enhances or intensifies the original stimulus.

Oxytocin is a hormone and a chemical messenger, called neurotransmitter that is produced by hypothalamus region of the brain. It plays a significant role during labor as it produces uterine contractions, which help in easy expell of baby out of the mother's womb.

An increase in the level of oxytocin results in increased uterine contractions.

Thus, it illustrates a positive feedback mechanism.

31. Seatbelts lock in place to make sure you don't go flying into the windshield.

32. Friction causes the soccer ball to slow down. If we were to kick a soccer ball in space, where there is no friction, it would keep on rolling until it eventually hits something or goes out of sight.

33. Heavier loads will make the vehicle move off of the table. The heavier the weight, the quicker the  vehicle will roll. Loads that are something very similar or lighter than the vehicle won't make the vehicle move by any means.

34. Gravity is the power pulling the piano toward the Earth.

Friction would happen with an unpleasant surface, making it a lot harder to push the piano up the ramp.

35. Wagon C

Wagon C has the least boxes and minimal measure of mass, making it simplest to move.

36. I would move the crates so every cart has a similar measure of boxes, making them equivalent in mass. This would make them all take a similar measure of power to move them.
