3. What are the conditions for rusting ?

Thanks for your reply !

1. A

2.Yes

3.Id say it won't rust and air can't get to it because it's covered with grease .

 

Correct ?

Yes, it won't. The coating of grease would prevent it's contact with air, thereby nullifying the possibility of rusting.

Question #1 can be solved if you think of yourself throwing the ball. Throwing the ball itself creates energy, so when it hits the ground it will lose ____? (HINT: Although energy can create heat, you have to consider that the ball did not create friction)

Question #2 - Air tends to "reach out and grab surfaces"

Question #3 - Grease acts as a lubricant

 

I know this was already answered, but just in case you needed extra reasoning :)

Correction on myself. Friction can generate* heat not create
