उत्तर
Friction is a force that opposes relative motion between two bodies/surfaces in contact with each other. Although friction opposes the motion, it also makes motion possible.
Friction helps us do many things like :
- It helps us in walking. In the absence of friction, we may slip or M.
- Cars and buses are able to move safely on roads due to the friction between the treaded tires of these vehicles and the surface of the road.
- Friction allows us to hold objects with our hands.
- It allows us to write on paper.
- Friction produces heat. In winter, when we rub our cold hands, the heat produced due to friction makes our hands warm.
