Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. SANDY FLOOR
Friction is a force that resists the relative motion between two objects or materials. The causes of this resistive force are molecular adhesion, surface roughness, and deformations. Trying to slide objects against each other requires breaking these adhesive bonds.
2. C
Fluid Friction - Fluid friction involves a fluid or air. The air resistance on an airplane or water resistance on a boat is fluid friction.
