Question

6.5 Explain why friction is independent of the area o
f contact between two surfaces.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Friction is independent of the area of contact. ... If the surface area is rough then the frictional coefficient of the surface will also be larger thus will need more force to slide increasing friction. If the surface area is smooth the co-efficient of friction between two surfaces will be less.

Answer 2

Answer:

Friction is independent of the areaof contact .

if surface area is rough a frictional coefficient of surface also be larger thus will need more force

to slide increasing friction. If the surface area is smooth the friction between two surface will less
