Answer 2

Answer:

• We are more likely to fall when it is raining because water acts as a lubricant between our feet and the ground. This lubricant turns fluid friction from dry friction (rainwater). We slip as a result of a decrease in the amount of friction between our feet and the ground.

Explanation:

• Friction is the resistance created when surfaces move past one another.
• The two surfaces' level of smoothness or roughness when they come into contact determines friction.
• Because there are fewer interlocking imperfections when the surface is smooth, there is less friction between the two. Friction rises as the surface gets rougher.
• We are more likely to fall when it is raining because water acts as a lubricant between our feet and the ground. This lubricant turns fluid friction from dry friction.
• We slip as a result of a decrease in the amount of friction between our feet and the ground.
