NEET Physics Friction MCQ Question
What does the law of static friction state about the maximum static frictional force?
It is proportional to the normal force multiplied by the coefficient of static friction.
It is constant regardless of the normal force acting on the object.
It is equal to the kinetic friction force when an object begins to move.
It is independent of the surface area in contact with the object.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The law of static friction can be expressed as f_s ≤ μ_s N, indicating that the maximum static frictional force is proportional to the normal force and the coefficient of static friction.
