Question

A ball is released from point A to travel on different horizontal surfaces. On which of the following surfaces the ball will travel maximum distance?
A) Brick
B) Glass
C) Cement
D) Mud​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) glass

beacuse of smooth surface

Answer 2

Option B is the correct answer.

• The given question can be solved by using the properties of friction.
• Friction is defined as the force which is against the motion of the body.
• Friction can also be defined as the force which resists the movement of a body.
• The greater the value of the friction the tougher is for the body to move.
• The lesser the value of the friction the easier it is for the body to move.
• The Rough surface is generally has a high value of friction. The smoother the surface is, the easier the body can move.

• From the given options, Brick, Cement, and Mud have higher frictional values as the surfaces are rough compared to glass. The surfaces of  Brick, Cement, and mud are highly irregular compared to glass. Hence the ball can travel a maximum distance if the surface is glass.

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
