Question

While walking in ice one should take smaller steps to avoid slipping .This is because smaller steps ensure ?

Answer 1

The larger the step, the larger these forward and backward forces. Your ordinary shoes on ice can only sustain small forwards and backwards forces before they slip. To avoid slipping, we take smaller steps as smaller step causes more normal force and thereby more friction.

Answer 2

Answer:

the larger the step the larger this forward and backward force. your. ordinary shoes on ice only sustain small forward and backward forces before they slip. to avoid slipping,we take smaller step as smaller step causes more normal force there by more friction.
