While walking on ice, one should take small steps to avoid sliping. This is because smaller steps ensure

A

friction of ice is large

B

larger normal reaction

C

friction of ice is small

D

smaller normal reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Friction of ice is small, so to avoid slipping it is better to have smaller steps, to produce larger reaction
