Question

Explain why we take short steps while walking on
slippery surfaces. Nicely explanation should be brainlist​

Answer 1

Explanation:

While walking on ice, one should take smaller steps because the smaller the steps are, the smaller, the backward and forward forces, which prevents you, to fall or slip. ... If the applied force is larger (which is the taking of long steps), the lower will be the friction and vice versa..

plz mark me brainlist

Answer 2

Answer: FRICTION

Explanation:

To avoid slipping one should take smaller steps because the frictional force of ice is small.

Smaller steps will give larger normal force and more the normal force more the friction.

Also, the advantage of taking small steps is that lateral forces are decreased. When we put down are foot it will be pushing forwards on the concrete and at the end of the step, it will be pushing backward. Hence larger the step these forward and backward forces will be larger increasing the chances of slipping.
