A

Introduce carbon dioxide into the container.

B

Allow carbon dioxide to escape through the opening.

C

Place an object on the flat surface.

D

Observe the object's motion on the surface.

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

Friction is the resistance that appears when two surfaces rub against each other, and carbon dioxide can act as a lubricant that makes the surfaces slide more easily. First, clean a metal plate and the sliding piece so that no dust or oils interfere with the experiment. Next, press a small amount of dry ice onto the plate to create a thin CO₂ film that reduces friction. Slide the metal piece across the plate and notice how it moves smoothly, showing how the CO₂ film lowers resistance. Finally, remove the CO₂ and repeat the slide to see the friction increase again, confirming that carbon dioxide effectively minimizes friction.

Detailed Explanation

Adding carbon dioxide to the container forms a thin gas film on the bottom surface. Other options are incorrect because Some think letting the gas escape first creates a useful film; Placing the object before introducing gas does not create a film.
