Q8. Explain why sliding friction is less than static friction.

When the objects are at rest, the interlocking of irregularities in the two surface of the object is higher than that of when objects are moving. When objects are moving there is dess interaction between their surfaces .

Q7. Iqbal has to push a lighter box and Seema has to push a similar heavier box on the same floor. Who will have to apply a larger force and why?

 Seema would have to apply a larger force as she would have to overcome a greater frictional force. The frictional force between two surfaces exists due to the interlocking of the irregularities on the surface. The magnitude of this frictional force depends on how tight this interlocking is which in this case depends on the weight of the boxes which is more in case of Seema.

Q5. You spill a bucket of soapy water on a marble floor accidentally. Would it make it easier or more difficult for you to walk on the floor? Why?

It would make it more difficult for us to walk on the marble floor since the frictional force would further decrease and thus our grip on the floor while walking would become even lesser.
