Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Physics - 2013 (Objective) Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

Solid friction, like viscosity is

Answer Details
Solid friction is in opposition to motion. When two solid surfaces are in contact, there is a force that resists the relative motion between them, known as friction. In the case of solid friction, this force acts perpendicular to the surfaces in contact and depends on the normal reaction between them, which is the force exerted by one surface on the other perpendicular to the contact area. Friction is also independent of the surface area in contact and dependent on the relative motion between the layers.
