Question

It is difficult to balance our body when we accidentally slip on the peel of a banana. Explain, why?

Answer 1

1. While walking we exert force in the forward direction and the ground applies reaction force in a backward direction, according to Newton's third law of motion.
2. As we step on a banana peel the friction force between feet and banana peel decreases.
3. Which makes it a slippery surface and it gets difficult to balance the body.
