"The friction between two surfaces increases when the surfaces are made smoother and smoother " . Why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the friction between two surfaces increases when the surfaces are made smoother, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Friction**: Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. It arises due to the interactions at the microscopic level between the surfaces. 2. **Surface Roughness**: ...
