11. Which of the following statement is not true?
a) Friction helps us to twist on object b) friction is a force that opposes motion
c) Objects have weight because of the frictional force between them and earth
d) More friction is produced between rough surfaces than between smooth surface
12. A box is given push across the floor. Its corners to a stop shortly after. Which one of the following
reasons explain why this happens?
a) gravity is acting on the box in the direction opposite to the boxe’s movement
b) friction is acting on the box in the same direction of the box’s movement
c) friction is acting on the box in the direction opposite the box’s movement
d) the heat produced by the box’s movement slow down the box
