Reason out in which case the frictional force between the car and the road is less.

Open in App

Solution

When the road is wet, the car sometimes can skidding due to smoothness of the surface. Thus, the roughness of the dry road can be more than that of wet road. We know that more rough surface will increase the friction force. Thus, wet road will have less friction force than that of dry road.
