When a bicycle is in motion, the force of friction exerted by the ground on the two wheels is such that it acts
In the backward direction on the front wheel and in the forward direction on the rear wheel
In the forward direction on the front wheel and in the backward direction on the rear wheel
In the backward direction on both front and the rear wheels
Both $(a)$ and $(c)$
The force required just to move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required just to prevent the body from sliding down. If $\mu $ is the coefficient of friction, the inclination of plane to the horizontal is
The frictional force acting on $1 \,kg$ block is .................. $N$
A block of mass $m$ is in contact with the cart $C$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is $\mu .$ The acceleration $\alpha$ of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies
Given in the figure are two blocks $A$ and $B$ of weight $20\, N$ and $100\, N$, respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force $F$ such that the system does not slide as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $0.1$ and between block $B$ and the wall is $0.15$, the frictional force applied by the wall on block $B$ is ........ $N$
What is friction ? What is impending motion ?
