AI Generated Solution

To explain why there is a limit beyond which further polishing of a surface increases rather than decreases the frictional force, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Friction**: - Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. It depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact and the normal force acting between them. 2. **Role of Surface Roughness**: ...

Why is the concrete floor made in small slabs, rather than a single block? Explain.

Asseration : A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a ceratin distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of 30^@ with the horizontal and same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is small than the first situation. Reason : The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.
