Friction — Physics STD 12 Science — Question

Question
While walking on ice, one should take small steps to avoid slipping. This is because smaller steps ensure:
  1. Larger friction.
  2. Smaller friction.
  3. Larger normal force.
  4. Smaller normal force.
✓

Answer

  1. Smaller friction.
Explanation:
According to the first law of the limiting friction,
$\text{f}=\mu\text{N}$
where f is the frictional force
$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction
N is the normal reaction force
When we take smaller steps on ice, the normal reaction force exerted by the ice is small. Therefore, the smaller steps ensure smaller friction.
