Why do we slip when we step on a banana peel? Explain.

Solution

Basically what happens is that when a banana peel is dropped on the floor. It tends to make the surface smooth, so the friction between our feet and ground decreases. When friction decreases it leads us to slip, causing us to fall when we step on a banana peel.
