When a person walls on a rought surface,...

When a person walls on a rought surface, the frictional force exerted by the surface on the person is opposite to the direction of his motion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
False
Concept : Friction force opposite the relative motion of the surface of contact Where a person walks on a rough surface when be pushes the ground backward ground pushes the person in forward dierection Therefore the friction force will act forward (in the direction of motion of the person).
