5. Friction -

a. produces heat

b. causes wear and tear

c. opposes motion

d. All of these

Answer: d

Give Reasons

1. Sand is spread on a slippery road before being worked on.

Answer: Sand is spread on a slippery surface to increase friction and prevent slipping.

2. Wheels of a car are made circular.

Answer: Wheels are made circular to convert sliding friction into rolling friction, as rolling friction is much less

and makes movement easier.

3. Ball bearings are used in some machines.

Answer: Ball bearings reduce sliding friction by converting it into rolling friction, which is much lower, thereby

increasing efficiency.

4. The tyres of cars are made rough.

Answer: Rough tyres increase the friction between the tyre and the road, preventing slipping and providing

better grip.

5. Hovercraft travels faster than a steamer.

Answer: A hovercraft floats on a cushion of air, which reduces friction (between solid and gas), whereas a

steamer experiences greater friction (between solid and liquid), making the hovercraft faster.
