What happends when we accidentally step on a peel of banana?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When we run into a banana peel while walking, the forward force of our intended velocity overcomes the peel.s static friction and sets it in motion. In reaction to that accelerated forward force, we experience an equal, backward force on our bodies that can fell us to the ground with a little assistance from gravity.
