List 3 to 5 ways to reduce friction

In a bumper car arena, two cars of equal mass are heading straight toward each other. the orange one is traveling at a speed of 5 meters per second. the green one is traveling at a speed of 2 meters per second. which of the forces most affects the motion of the bumper cars after they collide? a) gravity b) friction c) the other car d) wind resistance

Which of the following correctly describes the early view of catastrophism?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
