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.

3. (01.03 MC)
sleet_krkn [62]

The majority of wind turbines consist of three blades mounted to a tower made from tubular steel. There are less common varieties with two blades, or with concrete or steel lattice towers. At 100 feet or more above the ground, the tower allows the turbine to take advantage of faster wind speeds found at higher altitudes.

Turbines catch the wind's energy with their propeller-like blades, which act much like an airplane wing. When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on one side of the blade. The low-pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor to turn. This is called lift. The force of the lift is much stronger than the wind's force against the front side of the blade, which is called drag. The combination of lift and drag causes the rotor to spin like a propeller. So therefore your answer would be A.
