(a) Friction opposes the _____________ between the surfaces in contact with each other.
(b) Friction depends on the _____________ of surfaces. (c) Friction produces __________.
(d) Sprinkling of powder on the carrom board ________ friction.
(e) Sliding friction is ___________ than the static friction.
(a) Motion
Friction is the opening force which change in state of the motion.
(b) Nature
Friction depends on the nature of the surface. Rough surface have high friction and smooth surface have less friction.
(c) Heat
Friction produces heat, it is the opposing force acting on the surface.
(d) Reduce
Powder is used as lubricant to smoothen the surface.
(e) Less
Sliding friction is less than the static friction, sliding friction is less than the static friction, sliding friction is the friction when one slides over another body.
Explain why the sliding friction is less than the static friction.
