A person initially at rest, starts walking towards east without slipping or skidding. What is the type of friction acting on the person from the ground and in which direction the frictional force acts?
- A Static friction, towards west
- B Static friction, towards east
- C Kinetic friction, towards west
- D Kinetic friction, towards east
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Kinetic friction, towards east
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When the person starts walking towards East, he pushes the ground in the backward direction [i.e., West]. Since friction acts in opposite direction so the frictional force will act in East direction. Since the person is walking kinetic friction will act. Hence option (4) is the…
