The ratio between the force of sliding friction and the normal force of an object is called _____.

A.rolling friction
B.the drag
C.the coefficient of friction
D.the starting friction

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer is C.

Explanation: Frictional force is the contact force which resists the motion of one surface on another.

Mathematically,

[tex]f=\mu N[/tex]

where,

f = frictional force

[tex]\mu[/tex] = Coefficient of friction

N = normal force acting on a body

We need to find the ratio of force of sliding friction ( which is a type of frictional force) and the normal force acting on an object. This will be equal to coefficient of friction.

[tex]\mu=\frac{f}{N}[/tex]
