Laws Of Motion Question 5
Assertion: Friction is a self-adjusting force. Reason: Friction depends upon the normal force, which is related to mass.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason are both false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Only static friction is a self adjusting force. This is because force of static friction is equal and opposite to applied force (so long as actual motion does not start). Frictional force = μmg i.e. friction depends on mass.
