Which of these statements describe friction? Check all that apply. Friction allows objects to slide over each other without any
resistance. Friction resists motion. Friction is a force that acts from a distance. Friction is a contact force. Friction is caused by microscopic bumps and ridges on surfaces.
→ Friction is caused by microscopic bumps and ridges on surfaces.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
As the normal force, the friction is a contact force because it result when two objects interact by a direct contact, that is, touching to each other. Friction is important in everyday life and resists motion. For example, the oil in a car engine minimizes friction between moving parts, but a car can move because the friction between the tires and the road, but <em>what about the microscopic level?</em> well, as the normal forces friction forces result from the intermolecular forces between two rough surfaces at points where they come into contact and they are electrical in nature.
