Question

T/F The less friction, the less likely you are to turn a corner successfuly.

Answer 1

False.

• Less friction means an object can turn a corner more easily and successfully.
• Friction opposes the motion of objects moving across surfaces. Lower friction means less resistance and drag, allowing an object to change directions, accelerate, decelerate, or turn corners with less difficulty. Higher friction acts as a brake and makes changes in motion more challenging.
• So reducing friction, all else being equal, improves an object's ability to turn corners successfully.
