Question

A coin flicked across a table stops because

• A. no friction acts on it
• B. it is very heavy
• C. the table exerts a frictional force on it
• D. the Earth attracts it.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

the table exerts a frictional force on it

1. Frictional force refers to the force generated by two surfaces that contact and slide against each other.
2. So, due to contact between surface of the table and coin, frictional force works on it as a result coin stops.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
