Question

state the likely cause of friction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Friction is caused by the interlocking of irregularities in the surface of two objects which are in contact with each other. To move one object over the other ,we have to apply a force to overcome interlocking of the irregularities in their surfaces

Answer 2

Answer:

Friction is a resistive force, which comes into play when there is a relative motion between two bodies in contact. The frictional force between two bodies depends mainly on three factors: (i) the adhesion between body surfaces (ii) roughness of the surface (iii) deformation of bodies.

Explanation:

The interlocking of irregularities of the two surfaces opposes the motion of one object over the other and give rise to force of friction. Friction is caused by the interlocking of irregularities in the surface of two objects which are in contact with each other.
