  2. B. In a system with high friction between moving parts
  3. C. In a vacuum environment
  4. D. In a system with no moving parts

Answer

In a system with high friction between moving parts

Explanation

The correct option is "In a system with high friction between moving parts". In a system with high friction between moving parts is right because it directly matches Energy transfers in a system: Explain how lubrication reduces unwanted energy transfers by reducing friction.. The other options are less suitable because they change the required Physics relationship, confuse the relevant energy store or use a distractor that does not answer the question.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding Lubrication

Students often think lubrication eliminates friction completely.

Explain that lubrication reduces friction but does not eliminate it entirely.
