Name the force which always oppose motion.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the force that always opposes motion. This requires knowledge of forces acting on objects in motion. 2. **Identifying the Force**: The force that opposes motion is known as friction. It is a force that arises when two surfaces are in contact with each other. 3. **Explanation of Friction**: Friction acts in the opposite direction to the motion of an object. For example, if an object is sliding to the right, the friction force will act to the left, opposing the motion. ...

  • This section contains Assertion (A) and Reason (R) type questions. Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which only one is correct. Assertion (A) The direction of the friction force on an object is opposite to the actual motion (kinetic friction) or the impending motion (static friction) for the olyect relative to the surface with which it is in contact Reason (R) Friction force always opposes the motion.

    A
    Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason Is the correct explanation of the Assertion
    B
    Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
    C
    Assertion Is correct but Reason Is Incorrect
    D
    Assertion Is Incorrect but Reason Is correct
