Now explore friction force. Set the piece of plastic or wood on the table and push it steadily across the tabletop using your fi
ngertip. Note how much opposition to your push you feel. Repeat the steps, but this time push the piece of plastic or wood across a rug, carpet, or piece of fabric. If you’re using fabric, be sure to secure the fabric so it doesn’t move. How does the opposition to the motion on the tabletop compare with that of the rug, carpet, or fabric? (I don't wanna do this so can someone answer this please)
Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.
The current through the two resistors will be the same since they are connected in series. Notwithstanding, the voltage will drop to appreciate the change.
