उत्तर
Examples to show that friction is a friend:
- Friction enables us to grip and catch various objects.
- It allows us to walk pleasantly on the surface.
- It helps reduce the speed of moving items.
- It will enable us to write on paper or blackboards.
- Friction prevents objects from moving from their original positions.
Examples to show that friction is a foe:
- Friction wears and tears items.
- It damages machine parts.
- Machines and tools require constant maintenance, which wastes a lot of money.
- It slows down moving objects, requiring more significant force.
- It prohibits the free movement of items.

Explain how friction can be minimized.
We have two identical metal sheets. One of them is rubbed with sand paper and the other with ordinary paper. The one rubbed with sand paper shines more than the other. Give reason.
Assertion: Friction always opposes the motion.
Reason: Whenever one surface moves or tries to move over another surface, the force of friction starts acting on the surfaces.
Assertion: There is a danger of a vehicle skidding on a wet road.
Reason: The tires of the vehicle lose their grip on the road due to an increase in friction due to the presence of water on the road.
