The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we can break down the problem step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Force of friction depends on the actual area of contact." - **Explanation**: The force of friction is generally expressed by the equation: \[ F = \mu \times N \] where \( F \) is the force of friction, \( \mu \) is the coefficient of friction, and \( N \) is the normal force. This equation indicates that the frictional force is dependent on the normal force and the coefficient of friction, but not on the area of contact. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Larger the area of actual contact, larger is opposed to motion." - **Explanation**: This statement implies that if the area of contact increases, the frictional force also increases. However, as established in the analysis of the assertion, the frictional force does not depend on the area of contact. Therefore, this reasoning is also incorrect. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that: - **Assertion**: False - **Reason**: False Thus, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---

The force that depends on the types of surfaces in contact

Assertion: Frictional force is the component of contact force parallel to the surface. Reason: Friction force always opposes the motion of a body.

With the increase in the area of contact of an object, the pressure :

Assertiion: Angle of contact does not depend upon the inclination of the solid in the liquid. Reason: Angle of contact depends on cohesive and adhesive force.

Now when the surface is smooth , the toy car travels larger distance. It is found that friction is caused by interlocking of irregularities on the two surfaces in contact . Irregularities between two surfaces in contact. The above figure shows minute irregularities on two surfaces which are locked into one another . If we want to move any surface , some part of the external force applied is used to overcome this interlocking want to maove any surface , some part of the external force applied is used to overcome this interlocking . A rough surface has a large number of irregularities , so the force of friction is greater . A smooth surface has small number of irregularities , so the force of friction is less. 2. Normal reaction : The force of friction depends on the normal reaction also. As the normal reaction increases , the interlocking between two surfaces in contact increases as they press harder against each other and hence friction increases .
