Identify the option that best completes the statement rolling friction is

Answer 1

correct question :

Identify the option that best completes the statement rolling friction is      

correct option

Statement 1: The rolling friction is smaller than the

sliding friction

Statement 2 : Friction opposes the relative motion

between two surfaces in contact.

(1) Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is

incorrect

(2) Statement 2 is correct but statement 1 is

incorrect

(3) Both statements are correct

(4) Both statements are incorrect​

answer :

Both are correct

Explanation:

In the case of rolling friction the surface area is less hence friction is less.

And friction , as we know is the opposing force so it opposes motion between an object and the surface
