Answers:
Friction is the force that opposes the motion of objects in contact.
a. Sliding friction; b. Sliding friction; c. Rolling friction.
Static friction occurs when an object is at rest, and sliding friction occurs when the object is in motion.
a. Nature of surfaces, b. Force pressing the surfaces together, c. Smoothness of surfaces.
a. i, b. iii, c. ii.
Example answer: Walking on a rough surface, where the friction between the shoes and the ground prevents slipping.
Example answer: The shoes could have a patterned sole to increase grip on surfaces, and the material could be chosen for its appropriate level of friction.
False. While friction often opposes motion, it can also be helpful in situations like walking, where it provides traction.
Example answer: Using a lubricant like oil between two surfaces.
Example answer: The driver can apply the brakes, which increases the friction between the brake pads and the wheels, slowing down the car.
Example answer: Friction is crucial for our daily activities, from walking to driving. It helps us move safely and control the motion of objects.
