Question:medium

Frictional forces occur between two surfaces in contact, when one slides or tends to slide. Which factors influence frictional forces?
A. materials that strongly interact
B. surface quality and surface finish
C. total surface area
D. nature of the two surface areas

Show Hint

  • (A), (B) and (C) only
  • (B), (C) and (D) only
  • (A), (B) and (E) only
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Friction is determined by surface roughness (quality) and surface material properties (nature of the materials), but it is independent of the total surface area.
