NEET Physics Friction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Kinetic friction is less than static friction for the same pair of surfaces in contact.
Reason (R): Kinetic friction depends on the area of contact between the surfaces.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Kinetic friction is indeed less than static friction, but it is independent of the area of contact. The reason given is incorrect.
