Question

2. Rahul found that the soccer ball moves faster on a polished concrete road than on a carpet. Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

A soccer ball moves faster on a polished concrete road due to less friction. Friction is directly proportional to the roughness of the surface. The more the roughness of the surface, the more would be the friction. A carpet is more rough than a polished concrete road. As a result, it would have more friction. Therefore, the soccer ball would move slower on a carpet than on a polished concrete road.
