What’s the rest of the question or is that it?
Answer:
b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.
Explanation:
Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.
Since we're talking about the same car, the value of 
will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.
After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.
The point at which all motion stops.
Answer:
0.853 m/s
Explanation:
Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.
1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1
Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.
make v the subject of the equation,
v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2
Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.
Substitute into equation 2
v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)
v = 0.39[2.1875]
v = 0.853 m/s
Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s
