Answer: Polarization

Explanation: Polarization is the movement of electrons within a neutral object because of the electric field of a nearby charged object. It occurs without direct contact between the two objects.

For example, electrons in a metal plate can repelled by the negative charges in a plastic rod if the plastic rod is placed near the metal plate. The electrons move away from the plastic rod, thereby causing one side of the metal plate to be positively charged and the other side to become negatively charged.

Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%

Kipish [7]

Answer:

B) Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.

For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:

$F_f = \mu_k mg$

where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.

In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is

$F_f = \mu_s mg$
