NEET Physics Friction MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about friction is correct?
Kinetic friction is always greater than static friction.
Kinetic friction is independent of the area of contact between surfaces.
The coefficient of static friction is always equal to that of kinetic friction.
Friction is a force that acts only when an object is accelerating.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Kinetic friction is indeed found to be independent of the area of contact, as stated in the NCERT content. It is also noted that the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than that of static friction, making option B the only correct statement.
