I think these gases are water vapor and nitrogen. As the temperature rises, these water vapor molecules, would condense and form the oceans we have. Also, it was said that in the early atmosphere, nitrogen is very abundant and even today the composition of air is 79% by volume.
Explanation:
By Hooke's Law,
F=kx
The only force acting here is weight, and x is the extension of the string (you need to convert this to mm) so
mg=kx
(0.15)(9.81)=k ((420-300)x10^-3)
Then just solve this equation.
The correct answer is
C. reduce the friction between its moving parts
In fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced forceacting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction.
