Friction Coefficient Variations
easy

A toy car is placed on a wooden plank that has a rough surface. If the car is pushed gently, it slides down the plank due to gravity. Which factor primarily affects how far the car will slide before coming to a stop?

A

The roughness of the plank's surface

B

The color of the car

C

The size of the car's wheels

D

The weight of the car's passengers

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

The surface roughness determines how much friction force pushes against the car. Other options are incorrect because Many think color changes friction, but light or dark paint has no effect on the force between surfaces; Wheel size does affect rolling resistance, but on a rough plank the main battle is between the car and the floor, not wheel size.
