Question

Why is it difficult to walk on polished floors with soapy water?

Options

• Because the floor becomes harder

• Because friction between the foot and the floor is significantly reduced

• Because gravity increases

• Because the soles of shoes wear out

Answer 1

Because friction between the foot and the floor is significantly reduced

Explanation:

The example demonstrates that reduced friction (due to soapy water on polished surfaces) makes walking difficult and increases slipping.
