It is difficult to walk while wearing roller skates. Rolling friction is much less than static friction experienced during walking. Are both statements true and is the reason a correct explanation of the assertion?
Understand the Problem
The question presents an assertion and a reason, asking to determine if both are true and if the reason correctly explains the assertion, relating to the difficulty of walking in roller skates due to friction.
Answer
Both statements are true, and the reason correctly explains why it's hard to walk in roller skates.
Both statements are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. It's difficult to walk in roller skates because the low rolling friction makes it hard to generate the necessary static friction for pushing off the ground.
Answer for screen readers
Both statements are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. It's difficult to walk in roller skates because the low rolling friction makes it hard to generate the necessary static friction for pushing off the ground.
More Information
Walking relies on static friction between your feet and the ground to propel you forward. Roller skates reduce friction, making it harder to walk.
Tips
A common mistake is thinking friction is always bad, but static friction is essential for walking.
