The answer would be C: Rheostat. :)
C. thalamus
All sensory information coming into the brain from the body must first pass thru the thalamus
Answer:
Static Friction - acts on objects when they are resting on a surface
Sliding Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are sliding over a surface
Rolling Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface
Fluid Friction - friction that acts on objects that are moving through a fluid
Explanation:
Examples of static include papers on a tabletop, towel hanging on a rack, bookmark in a book
, car parked on a hill.
Example of sliding include sledding, pushing an object across a surface, rubbing one's hands together, a car sliding on ice.
Examples of rolling include truck tires, ball bearings, bike wheels, and car tires.
Examples of fluid include water pushing against a swimmer's body as they move through it , the movement of your coffee as you stir it with a spoon, sucking water through a straw, submarine moving through water.
Clever problem.
We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks. So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is 6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz. But which one is it ?
Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz. That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.
If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.
The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz. While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.
