Question

John carried out an experiment to find out how different road surfaces (P, Q, R and S) affect the stopping distance of a car travelling at 50 km/h. The result is tabulated below.

Solution

The correct option is B Q
As we can see from the table, stopping distance is minimum for surface Q. More the frictional force, more will be the opposition to motion and lesser will be the stopping distance. Hence, surface Q provides maximum frictional force.
