Arrange the following in the increasing order:
Let a marble roll on the following surfaces. Arrange the choice of the material such that a marble moving over it covers a greater distance. Cotton cloth, glass plate, paper, cardboard, silver plate.
The force of friction called into play which does not allow bodies to slide upon one another is known as:
The heavier the object, the _____ (greater/lesser) is the friction.
It is difficult to walk on the marble floor when soap water is spilt over it because soap water _____ friction. (increases/decreases)
Define static friction and sliding friction.
Friction is independent of area of contact.
Sliding friction is _____ (more/less) than static friction.
