Answer:
c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction
Explanation:
When the box finally does break loose. Then the component of the box weight which is parallel to the board weight parallel component, is equal to the
.

For the box to acce;erate thee must be non-zero net force acting on the box parallel to the board. Or we can say,

Therefore the force of kinetic friction must be less than the force of static friction. Thus,

2. kinetic energy: due to it being transferred through collisions
Answer:
Straight line graph attached showing mechanical energy on x-axis and altitude y on y-axis
Explanation:
As mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy, the ball at a height H possesses potential energy= m.g.H
and Kinetic energy= 0.
But the sum of both energies is equal to m.g.H.
When the ball starts moving, the height starts to decrease and potential energy also decreases with decreasing y. On the other hand kinetic energy starts increasing with decreasing Y. But their sum remains constant i.e equal to mechanical energy. It remains same until the ball touches the ground. The graph attached shows height H or altitude y on x-axis and Mechanical Energy on y-axis. It shows a straight horizental line showing that mechanical energy remains same as y decreases.
