Please PLEASE HELP ASAP
A student placed four objects on a plastic tray: a rock, an eraser, a wood block, and an ice cube. The student slowly lifts the tray and measures the height at which each object begins to slide in order to compare the friction of each object. The table above shows the results. In a separate experiment the student used the same objects and tray, but glued a piece of gritty sandpaper to the tray. What results would be expected? A) The items would slide faster at the same heights. B) The items would start to slide when the tray is not lifted as high. C) The items would not slide at all, no matter how high the tray is raised. D) The tray would need to be raised higher before the items start to slide.

Answer:

D) The tray would need to be raised higher before the items start to slide.

Explanation:

The tray would need to be raised higher due to the gritty sandpaper causing it to have more grip or fraction between the two surfaces. In the first experiment it would have a smooth surface to slide across but in the second experiment it would have a rougher surface to slide across.

Example: It would be like taking two different kinds of shoes like tennis shoes and football cleets. Then seeing which one has more traction when going up a hill.

Hope this helps!!
