Conceptual Questions
a. Why it is difficult to move on a wet marble surface
b. why our hands become warmer when we run them
c. Why do we shape aeroplanes like that of a bird
d. How lubricant help in reducing friction
e. The handle of a cricket bat or a badminton racquet is usually rough. Explain the reason.?
Answer
a. It has less friction,So it becomes difficult to move on
b. When we rub our hand with each other, friction arises between the two hands. The friction produces heat and this heat makes our hand warmer.
c. Aeroplanes are streamlined like bird to reduce frictional force exerted by air. and not to lose energy
d. Lubricant fills the irregularities present on the surface and forms a thin layer between the surface in contact. This results in replacing the contact between the two hard surfaces with the contact between hard surface and lubricant.This reduces friction
e. To increase friction between handle of the bat and hands, to have a better grip
Fill in the blanks
a. Frictional force is an example of __________.

c. SI unit of friction force is __________.
d. _______ is a device used for measuring the force acting on an object.
e. Direction of force of friction is always __________ to the direction of motion.
g. Substance called ___________ are used to reduce friction
Answer
a. non-contact force
b. Eliminated
c.Newton
d.Spring balance
e. opposite
g. Lubricants
