To avoid slipping while walking on ice, one should take smaller steps because of the
Friction of ice is large
Larger normal reaction
Friction of ice is small
Smaller normal reaction
A heavy box is to dragged along a rough horizontal floor. To do so, person $A$ pushes it at an angle $30^o$ from the horizontal and requires a minimum force $F_A$, while person $B$ pulls the box at an angle $60^o$ from the horizontal and needs minimum force $F_B$. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{5}$ , the ratio $\frac{{{F_A}}}{{{F_B}}}$ is
What is friction ? What is impending motion ?
A football player is moving southward and suddenly turns eastward with the same speed to avoid an opponent. The force that acts on the player while turning is :
