NEET Physics Friction MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11
Consider a diagram showing a block resting on a horizontal surface. The forces acting on the block include the gravitational force downwards and the normal force upwards. Which force is responsible for opposing any initial motion of the block when a horizontal force is applied?
A
Static friction
B
Kinetic friction
C
Gravitational force
D
Normal reaction
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The static friction opposes any initial motion of the block when a horizontal force is applied, as it must overcome static friction before the block can move, as stated in the NCERT context about static friction's role.
