NEET Physics Friction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Rolling friction is generally less than static or sliding friction.
Reason (R): During rolling, the surfaces in contact are momentarily deformed, resulting in a finite area of contact.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that rolling friction is smaller than static or sliding friction due to the momentary deformation and finite contact area between surfaces.
