Consider the following statements.  A. It is easier to walk on a smooth surface.  B. A ball will fall easily over a rough inclined plane compared to a smooth one. C. Frictional force opposes the relative motion.  D. Frictional force depends upon the surface.  Which of the above statements are correct? Correct Answer C, D

Explanation:

Frictional Force:

  • The force exerted between surfaces to resist the relative motion between them is called frictional force. 
  • Smooth surfaces have higher frictional force as compared to rough surfaces. 
  • So, Frictional force depends upon the surface and opposes the motion. 
  • Frictional force helps us while walking. 
  • Walking on a smooth surface is difficult due to a lack of friction. 
  • Sliding is easy on smooth surfaces compared to rough ones as less friction will ensure proper movement. 


So, the correct statements are C, D

The frictional force is given as

F = μN

Where μ = Coefficient of friction and N = normal reactional force on the surface

  • The frictional force is acting against the direction of an externally applied force so as to impend the motion of the object
  • The frictional force depends on the following factors
    •  Nature of the surface  
    • Mass of the body
