Answer:

Rubbing the match against a rough surface

The activation energy is provided by friction between surfaces

Explanation:

Activation energy is the energy required to start a chemical reaction. It is the minimum energy that must be supplied for a reaction to proceed.

When we strike a match against a rough surface, what we are trying to do is to supply the required activation energy in the form of friction in order to get the combustion reaction started.

Hence, the activation energy for the combustion of a match head is supplied by friction when the match head is struck against a rough surface.

What is the formula for speed of light?
satela [25.4K]
<span><span>There is no formula. The speed of light is a fundamental constant which appears in other formulas but there’s no formula to compute the numerical value.Well, actually, that’s not quite right. The numerical value in meters per second is known exactly, because we use the speed of light to define the meter. It is: <span><span><span>c=299,792,458 m/s</span><span>c=299,792,458 m/s</span></span> </span>. Exactly. But the thing is — this value is purely an artifact of our unit system. Other unit systems will give other values, so the number value is entirely arbitrary.</span></span>
