Question 6. Very short answer type questions:
(i)Write any two types of friction.
(ii)Give one example of rolling friction.
(iii)Give one example of sliding friction.
(iv)Why cricketers use rubber grip?
(v)Why weightlifters apply powder while lifting the weight?
Answer
(i)Static and limiting friction.
(ii)Throwing a ball in the bowling game.
(iii)Shifting sofa from one place to another.
(iv)Cricketers use rubber grip to get a firm grip while batting.
