Question

ASSERTION AND REASONS
11. Statement-1 :It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground.
Statement-2 : The magnitude of frictional force depends on the nature of the two surfaces in
contact.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement 1 is wrong and Statement 2 is correct

Explanation:

Statement 2 is correct as if a surface is rough then the friction acting will be more. The smoother the surface, the lesser the friction.

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Both statement are independently true but 2 is not the correct explanation of 1.

Explanation:

The reason of statement 1 is that while pulling, a component of force reduces the normal reaction and hence reduces the friction force.
