<span>A lubricant such as oil, grease, graphite powder can reduce the friction between two surfaces. Or using metal balls to space them and reduce the contact surface area as used in ball bearings.</span>
In a displacement versus time graph, the slope of the line at any point on the graph indicates the <em>magnitude of velocity</em>.
(It can't indicate velocity completely, because the graph shows nothing about the direction of the motion.)
The US English System of measurement grew out of the manner in which people secured measurements using body parts and familiar objects. For example, shorter ground distances were measured with the human foot and longer distances were measured by paces, with one mile being 1,000 paces. Capacities were measured with household items such as cups, pails (formerly called gallons) and baskets.
Answer:D
Explanation:
Given
mass of object 
Distance traveled 
velocity acquired 
conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity
Initial Energy
Final Energy

where
is friction work if any


Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero
An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .
